I cover each of them with a large garbage bag to protect them and keep the dust off of them.

For ornaments there are several different options to inexpensively and easily store them. Keep containers to place the ornaments in that will keep them safe and stack nicely. These containers here came from my Yankee Candle order. I love that it holds larger ornaments and odd sized ones as well.

Once you get all of your ornaments in these containers, carefully stack them in a cardboard box or a plastic bin.

I hung my wreath on a hanger. I then pulled a kitchen garbage bag over my wreath. The bottom is at the top and I made a small hole for the hanger to come through. I cinched the bottom closed. This allows your wreath to hang up, stay nice, and keep the dust off.

I use "slap bracelets" to hold my wrapping paper together so it doesn't unravel or get torn.

    Lots of good tips, Chas. I started using egg cartons about 5 years ago and it has made storing our ornaments so easy. πŸ™‚ Thanks for sharing all of your ideas!

    It is so hard to pack away for the season. I had to pack it really good as we are moving this summer. Wish I had seen this before. #trafficjam

      Thank you Tracy. I totally understand and sometimes I think I would pay someone to do the work of packing it well. Thanks for stopping by.

    So many great ideas on how to reuse simple, everyday items that we often think of throwing out! I love the idea of using egg cartons for ornaments. It looks like a great way to store and keep them organized. I’ll definitely be using that as a future organizing tip!

    I especially like the tip to wrap lights around a hanger. I find they can be especially tangle-prone!

    So many great ideas. I do a few similar things already with our decorations but the slap bracelet idea is a new one on me. Such a good idea.

    So many excellent ideas here! I use the popcorn tins to store my smaller supplies in (like strands of beads and bags of buttons), but excellent for bows and tags too! I also love the slap bracelet idea – genius!
