Protect Hanging Ornaments

During the holiday season, you decorate your house and Christmas tree with various types of ornament made with glass, cardboard, cork, and clothes. Usually, people hang it with strings. The first step is to keep these ornaments hanged in perfect condition. Kids and pets get excited to see these glittery objects near them and try to touch and pull. As a result, they fall and break.

Glass ornaments are very delicate and easily breakable when fall. Protect the Christmas ornaments with anchors instead of string to secure them tightly so that they do not fall when kids or pets try to pull the ornaments.

Used Coffee Cups

After spending prolonged party time in the holiday season, you will have a pile of used coffee cups. You can stock up these cups to keep the delicate rounded ornaments. To store them keep coffee cups in a large covered box to protect them from dust.

Used Soda Bottles

Small beads and strings are the most difficult things to store. You can keep them in empty soda bottles. It is easy to manage and reuse the same color of beads and strings.

Egg or Apple Carton

Egg cartons are a great idea to keep oval shape ornaments and apple cartons are great to store round glass ornaments. Cupcakes liner or tissue wraps are essential to protect glass ornaments from rattle against each other.

DIY Ornament Storage Box

If you have time, you can make your DIY storage carton. Take a storage box and create a section with cardboard to keep fragile ornament separate from each other.

To store the hanging ornaments, restring the ornament loops in a plastic rod. Drill two parallel holes in the storage basket and save hanging ornaments in the DIY storage basket.
