The Best Ways to Store Your Ornaments for Full Artificial Christmas Trees
When the end of the season hits, then it is time to put up all the holiday décor that you have used throughout the season. While you know that your full artificial Christmas trees are going to be placed back into their original box or the special box you purchased for this, what about the rest of your décor? Unfortunately, many people are going to store this in boxes throughout their homes and the next year, they are going to find that it may be difficult to find everything and where they put it! How many times have you found yourself wondering where the beautiful bauble went, as you had just seen it two years ago when you used it on your full artificial Christmas trees? This is what you want to avoid!
This is why being more organized with how you store your ornaments from your full artificial Christmas trees is essential to the next holiday season.
Here are some methods to remember when you are taking down everything from your full artificial Christmas trees and throughout your home!
Benefits of Using Full Artificial Christmas Trees
1. If you decorate the same way every year, consider storing your decorations by room or region. For example, separate decorations from room to room and store them in containers labeled “Living Room” or “Entrance.” Or you can decorate a specific area of the room in the same way. This can be great for those who have a basement that they use for their décor, this way you can always see what you are working with.
2. If you use a different theme each year and then decorate with the items that you buy new, what you do with these ornaments is going to be slightly different. You should collect everything and sort them into categories as you use one area of your home to remove items. For example, place lamps, garlands, ornaments, plates, table decorations, wall decorations, home, tablecloths or table runners, etc. They are all in separate stacks. Now you can put them in a separate container for each one. Just because you may not use it this next year on your full artificial Christmas trees does not mean that you will not use it again, so take the time to store this properly.
These are just two ideas that you can use, depending upon how you decorate each year. For the individual ornaments themselves, be sure that you are using enough padding when storing these, as there is nothing more frustrating than having your full artificial Christmas trees up and the ornaments being broken! It can throw off your entire theme especially if you cannot find those types of ornaments any longer in stores.

Remember, when everything is more organized, it can make decorating easier and allow you to focus on the fun of the Christmas season rather than worrying about lost or broken elements of your décor!
