Clever ways to store ornaments and decor?

blue_elle · January 2011

Aside from specialty containers, anyone have any clever suggestions for packing up the Christmas stuff? I have large rubbermaid containers and don't want to spend the money on specialty containers. I saw this idea on Martha Stewart's site and thought it was a great idea for the ornaments:

Cups glued to cardboard hold the ornaments and can be stacked. She suggests egg cartons for small ornaments.

I also wrap each separate glass ornament in some tissue paper to help keep them from getting scratched. I do have the specialty containers but I like the paper cup idea as well.

Cool idea! I use clothing boxes and tissue paper for certain ornaments but for the generic bulbs, I just use the boxes they came in.

I love that idea! Thanks for sharing I'm on a major organizing kick right now and have been wanting to organize all our Xmas stuff w/out buying more and more containers that we already have a ton of I'm definitely going to use this idea!

For now, I've just been saving original boxes and using egg cartons for smaller ornaments.I also save bubble wrap to wrap ornaments.

I've been storing my special ornaments in smaller shoe boxes wrapped in tissue paper, so there is only six or seven ornaments per shoe box and then I store the boxes in my rubbermaid totes. I like the shoe boxes because they offer support for stacking on top of one another in the tote. And in between the boxes I still miscellaneous decorations.

I store our ornaments in a box from our area liquor store. I kept the cardboard divider in the box (the insert that keeps the wine bottles from clinking together) and it separates the ornaments into columns! I still wrap them in tissue so they don't scratch each other, since they are piled on top of each other. It's a quick and free way to organize!
