Store you holiday decorations the smart way with these 10 tips.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

After the holidays are over, you’re left to put all the decorations and lights away again. If you’re tired of tangled lights, unorganized ornaments, and post-Christmas chaos, Blain’s Farm & Fleet is here to help with these storage solutions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these tips, you’ll be able to organize your holiday decorations<\/a>, making next year’s decorating easier.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Wrap Your Lights Around Cardboard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Use a piece of cardboard to keep your holiday lights from getting tangled. Cut slits along the sides of the piece of cardboard, and wrap the lights around it, using the slits to keep the strands separated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can stack the cardboard in a storage bin, removing the hassle of tangled lights for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Use Storage Bags for Lights<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

To keep strings of lights separate from each other, you can also use storage bags or garbage bags<\/a>. Put a strand of lights in its own, individual bag to keep it from getting tangled with other strands.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Use a Tree Bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

If you have an artificial Christmas tree, use a tree bag<\/a> to store it. It’s a lot easier to contain the tree in a pliable bag than trying to stuff it back into the box it came in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, it helps protect the artificial tree from moisture, dust, and pests.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Store Ornaments in Egg Cartons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Keep your ornaments safe and organized by using egg cartons. Not only are you recycling and reusing egg cartons you already have. But they’re also easy to store and stack with the rest of your Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. Use an Ornament Storage Box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

If you have ornaments that are bigger or different sizes, an ornament storage box<\/a> can come in handy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most storage boxes are stackable, too. So you can store all of your holiday decorations together in one organized space.<\/p>\n\n\n

6. Store Wrapping Paper in a Garment Bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Instead of trying to find a spot for all your leftover wrapping paper, use a garment bag to neatly store it. Not only will you save space, but you can also easily see what wrapping paper you have for the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n

7. Use a Wrapping Paper Storage Box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

You can also use a wrapping paper storage box<\/a> to organize your wrapping paper rolls. This helps prevent them from getting crushed, and it stands upright to help you save floor space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some even come with a clear top, so you can always see the wrapping paper.<\/p>\n\n\n

8. Label All Your Storage Containers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

This is one of the easiest ways to get organized. Put labels<\/a> on large plastic bins<\/a> full of your ornaments, tabletop decorations, lights, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By doing this, you can easily find exactly what you’re looking for, instead of having to open every storage box and dig through everything.<\/p>\n\n\n

9. Designate a Storage Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Create a designated space specifically for your holiday decorations. Whether it’s in the basement, the garage, or a different space in your home, keep all your holiday decorations together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This goes for every holiday season. You can even color coordinate storage bins for each season, to help make it easier to find what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n

10. Organize Gift Wrapping Supplies in a Storage Cart<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

You can use each small shelf or bin for gift tags, bows, ribbon, tissue paper, and more. Plus, you can easily wheel the storage cart<\/a> away, out of sight, and into storage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This works great all year round for all your gift wrapping needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
