Cube Decorating Ideas For Christmas

Wondering how to store away your Christmas decorations until next year? Stop them from getting smashed with these clever tips on safe storage...

1. Use clear resealable bags

Fictional character, Toy, Hardwood, Aqua, Teal, Wood stain, Plastic, Varnish,

If you want to keep all your ornaments in the same container, but sorted by colour, use clear gallon bags from your kitchen. Then next year, it'll be super easy to assess your stash.

2. Shrink wrap your tree

Interior design, Lighting, Room, Christmas decoration, Interior design, Christmas tree, Home, Holiday, Christmas ornament, Christmas eve,

If you store your artificial tree in the garage, this trick will keep it clean and protected all Winter, Spring, and Summer long. When you're ready to decorate it next year, just slice up the side of the wrap with scissors and fluff the branches into shape.

3. Wrap lights around cardboard

Teal, Christmas decoration, Conifer, Pine family,

When you wrap your lights around pieces of disposable cardboard before putting them in storage, you can write handy reminders that'll keep you organised next year.

4. Keep garland in water bottles

Bottle, Plastic bottle, Natural material, Creative arts, Christmas decoration, Water bottle, Silver, Conifer, Glass bottle, Transparent material,

Nothing is more frustrating than when long strings of garland get twisted around all of your holiday decorations. Prevent that mishap by storing your beads in a plastic water bottle — each container will hold two strings of beads!

5. Hang your ornaments

Purple, Teal, Basket, Plastic, Home accessories, Storage basket, Present, Easter, Collection, Hamper,

You'll know your ornaments are ready to be hung as soon as you pull them out next year if you loop the ribbon on to wooden rods in a plastic bin while they're in storage. This tip works well for 'shatter-proof' balls — but consider storing your favourite glass heirloom ornaments in individual containers.

6. Salvage storage containers from your home

Home accessories, Natural material, Plastic bag, Present, Craft, Pearl, Brass,

If your original ornament boxes are dented disasters (or you just forgot to save them), don't worry. Ask your local liquor store for wine boxes with cardboard dividers, which you can fold and cut as needed. Then layer two to three ornaments wrapped in tissue paper into each slot, placing heavier ones on the bottom. Try egg cartons for tiny trinkets, plastic produce containers or shoeboxes for bigger baubles, and paper-towel tubes for garlands.

7. Keep wreaths in your wardrobe

Orange, Peach, Fur, Natural material,

This handy wardrobe organiser is often used to hold more hangers than your rod can handle — but it's even better suited for multiple wreaths. By hanging them in your wardrobe you'll prevent your favourite Christmas decoration from going flat.

8. Sew storage for your fake tree

Wood, Hardwood, Flooring, Floor, Wood stain, Wood flooring, Laminate flooring, Plywood, Origami, Paper,

Use dust sheets to create bags for the top, middle and bottom pieces of your artificial tree. Then you can store them in your garage all year long without worrying about them getting flat or dirty.

9. Don't let ornaments get crushed

Cuisine, Ingredient, Drinkware, Dish, Christmas, Christmas eve, Meal, Delicacy, Comfort food, Coquelicot,

Use leftover plastic cups from holiday parties to keep your ornaments safe while in storage. Each cup can be glued to a piece of cardboard and provides a protective shell to delicate decorations – you can even stack multiple layers on top of each other in a plastic bin.

10. Invest in a clothing rack

Flower Arranging, Clothes hanger, Cut flowers, Floral design, Plastic, Coquelicot, Day dress, Floristry,

If you go big when it comes to wreaths (we're talking every window, inside and out!) and don't have space in your wardrobe for storage, invest in a clothing rack and keep them wrapped in plastic in your basement or garage.
