Here are seven highly effective and easy Christmas décor storage ideas:

Christmas Tree Storage

Taking down the Christmas tree and storing it for the next season is no doubt the biggest task. There are a few very simple ways to store the tree without damaging it.

• Whether you are storing it put together or in parts, you can put it in a big storage bag. Secure the branches with old belts before putting the tree in the bag, and you are good to go.

• Secure the tree with old belts and wrap the entire tree in cling film. Simple, right?
• Break the tree into smaller parts and store each in concrete form tubes. You can either wrap the branches in cling film or secure them with belts before sliding them into the tubes. Mark each tube with a layer number, so you know which part is where.

Christmas Ornament Storage

It is so much fun to put up Christmas ornaments, but taking them down and storing them for the next season can be tricky. Here is how you can store your precious ornaments without going the extra mile.

• Use egg cartons to store small and fragile ornaments.
• Keep original ornament boxes and put them back in their original boxes.
• Use ornament storage bags. You can put cardboard on the sides for an extra protective layer.

Christmas Wreath Storage

Making Christmas wreaths from scratch is a fun DIY activity, but it is always good to re-purpose wreaths from the last year. However, to do so, you need them to be in perfect shape and condition. Here is how you can store Christmas wreaths:

Storing wrapping paper is the most difficult task, isn’t it? But using leftover wrapping paper for next year is not only convenient, it will also save you couple dollars more. Here is how you can put away wrapping sheets to stay them usable during the next season.

• Roll the leftover wrapping papers and put them in storage bag.
• Store the leftover wrapping paper rolls in hanging organizers.

Storing Garland Strings

Strings of beads are great for decorating the Christmas tree but putting them down and storing them can be frustrating. Usually, strings of beads get tangled, and you end up throwing them away. Don’t fret. Here is how you can store strings of beads for the next holiday season.
