Store Your Holiday Decorations Safely
Holiday decorations are often cherished items, from fragile ornaments to sentimental keepsakes. Proper storage can keep them in pristine condition for years to come.
Here’s how:
1. Protect delicate ornaments. Wrap them individually in bubble wrap, newspaper or fabric.
2. Choose plastic over cardboard: Holiday décor tucked away in dark attic or basement spaces can be tempting to pests looking for food and nesting material. Look for sturdy plastic options with snap-on lids for added protection.
3. Wrap lights the right way: Avoid the dreaded tangled light strands by wrapping them around a light storage reel or a piece of cardboard. Store them in clear bins so you can easily see what’s inside.
4. Use wreath containers: Protect your wreaths from getting crushed or dusty by storing them in dedicated wreath containers. Many are designed to hang, saving you precious space.
5. Label everything: Use a label maker or permanent marker to identify what’s in each box. This will save you time and hassle next holiday season.
Tackle Home Organization Projects
Now is the perfect time to get your home in order. Start small and focus on one area at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Here are some ideas:
1. Declutter first: Before organizing, take stock of what you really need and donate or discard what you don’t. This makes the organizing process much more effective.
2. Choose the right storage solutions: Clear plastic bins are a versatile choice for many rooms, allowing you to see the contents at a glance. Stackable options help maximize space.
3. Create a system: Use shelving units, pegboards and storage hooks to keep tools, sports gear and household items tidy. Label bins and drawers for easy access.
4. Tidy up seasonal items: Store seasonal decorations, clothing and outdoor gear in labeled bins and place them in less frequently used spaces like attics or basements. Use tight fitting lids to protect the contents from damage from things like moisture and pests.
