You spend all year looking forward to putting up your artificial Christmas trees, and finding the right theme that is going to make Christmas come to life in your home. For this reason, at the end of the season, you need to make sure that you are doing everything that you can to ensure that this tree and ornaments are protected for the following year. Too many people just throw their ornaments into a box and hope for the best…that is a recipe for disaster. After all, a box can be dropped and items broken, it can be crushed when in storage, and the ornaments are ruined. In addition, you need to make sure that your artificial Christmas trees are going to be stored properly to ensure that it has a long life in your home.
Why Proper Storage of Artificial Christmas Tree Ornaments is Important
With this being said, here are a few tips that can help you to effectively store those ornaments that you use on your artificial Christmas trees each year!
1. Invest in some ornament boxes designed specifically for these ornaments. You will find that this is going to be a wise investment that is going to pay off since you are going to have ornaments that are going to be something that you want to save from year to year. These storage solutions are meant to ensure that the ornaments are protected, while also being something that you can easily store in a closet or basement.
2. Invest in some packing paper. While many people use newspaper to wrap their ornaments in, this could be a disaster if this were to be stored in a hot room for the rest of the year. Think about it, when you are done reading a paper, you have black ink all over your hands. This ink can rub onto these ornaments which may not be a big deal for some ornaments. But, imagine having white ornaments that are not covered in black ink?!
3. If you have some old hand towels or bath towels, you can find that you can create some cushions in boxes that you have to store these ornaments if you don’t want to buy storage solutions specifically designed for ornaments. Just line the boxes with this soft padding, and use the packing paper to place these ornaments into the box. Be sure that you are marking “Fragile” on these boxes so that they are not accidentally sat somewhere where they can be broken.
