10 Best Tips for Christmas Decoration Storage & Organization
"Get rid of most of those big blue bins. So much of our Christmas decor is glass or delicate or fabric etc and packing and cramming Christmas decor into a cavernous bin does not help preserve our holiday treasures from year to year. Opt for smaller clear plastic boxes that match the size of the decor’s needs. There are as many great boxes and sizes as the things you have. Shoebox size is my favorite. I’d rather have a dozen see-through shoebox-size boxes than one big bin." - Yvonne, Stone Gable Blog "Sort by Christmas and Winter as you undecorate. Separate your decor into clearly “Christmas related” and then items that you can reuse for winter." -Sarah from Grace in my Space Gather all your Christmas decor together in one spot and group them together like with like. "Once my items are grouped by type, it’s easy to tell what size bin I will need for each one. I have all of my outdoor decor in two bins, my mini trees in one bin, all of my pillows together in one bin, etc." - Abby from Abby Lawson Take the stress out of next year's Christmas season by organizing for it now! "While it’s still fresh in your mind, make a list of everything you loved this year and everything you didn’t. I watched Sarah Joy put away her Christmas decor on Instagram stories today, and was intrigued by the storage bags she used! " I absolutely love using these storage bags from Amazon (my affiliate link) for my larger, bulky decor like wreaths, garlands, and holiday stems. And they even work for my smaller Christmas trees. I was able to fit several of my three foot trees in one bag. They are awesome!!" - Sarah Joy from Sarah Joy the blog If you have an extensive collection of Christmas decorations, Leslie from my 100 Year Old Home walks you through her process of organizing everything with Container Store supplies. I love their cord wrap solution! I love all the practical tips in Krista's article on storing Christmas decor. One of them is this: "A simple way to keep those more delicate ornaments safe is to wrap them in coffee filters before storing them away for the year" - Krista from The Happy Housie I also love the idea of wrapping Christmas lights around cardboard. I'm going to try that this year! Wondering how to store all those awkward wrapping paper rolls? " Just grab all your loose rolls that are causing clutter in your closet and place them neatly in a garment bag. Hang the bag in the closet and easily access what you need when its gift wrapping time!" - via Rachel Hollis "Pack larger, flat ornaments in your stockings. You will already be packing your stockings so you might as well put them to use! Tuck ornaments into the stocking and then fold it over to protect each one. I can fit 5 large snowflakes in each of my stockings, which means I can pack 15 total!" - Anna from Ask Anna
