Christmas Tree Storage Bags

Storing your Christmas decorations properly is the best way to protect their life and beauty for many years. Using smart storage methods gives you a greater chance of getting your money's worth out of your decorations. Don't let improper care lead to the downfall of your cherished holiday decorations - our tips below can help ensure your displays continue looking great through many years of use!

Hint: no storage box stuffing, tangled light piles, or shoving trees into old boxes allowed!

• Store decorations in a cool, dry place. If possible try to avoid environments that experience extreme temperature fluctuations, such as a garage or attic.
• Avoid tugging your Christmas lights to get them down. Instead take a little extra time to remove and store your lights carefully; your future self will thank you!
• Label each storage bin with what it contains. This is an easy way to find what you are looking for and know exactly what is in each box for easy access.
• Wrap lights around a flat piece of cardboard or place each light strand in its own plastic bag to ensure no annoying tangles and for easy storage in bins. You can cut a notch on each end of the cardboard to hold the end plugs of your light string or just tuck them in underneath the wound up lights.
• Hook your wreath to a hanger and place a garbage bag over the wreath. This will ensure your wreath will not get squished between other objects and the garbage bag will protect it from dust, dirt, and bugs. You can store wreaths inside a closet, from a hook, or on a coat rack.
• Wrap Christmas light strings around your elbow and palm to create a neat circle, much like you would when winding up a hose or power cord. You can then put them in a ziplock bag and label the bags based on location or hang the light loops off hooks.
• Organize smaller, breakable tree ornaments in a clean egg carton, place these egg cartons inside a sturdy box for storage.
• Use a large plastic bin and start by filling plastic cups with ornaments, fill up the bottom of the bin with plastic cups. Place a layer of thin cardboard over the top and repeat with the plastic cups until you fill the bin.
• Wrap bubble wrap or tissue paper around your decorations for extra protection during storage.

Are you a tree wrestler? If you spend way too much time trying to shove your fluffed Christmas tree back into the original box that has been taped shut too many times, only to have parts of it busting out of the sides, then the answer is yes! Whether you paid $50 or $500+ your Christmas tree is an investment and keeping it unbroken and looking like new for as long as possible should be the goal.

Use Christmas Tree Storage Bags

When you take the time to store your tree properly you'll have a beautiful, full tree for longer and you'll get to skip the headache that comes with having to unpack your smashed up tree the following year. The very best option for storing your tree is to use a durable Christmas tree storage bag. Tree bags will keep the branches from getting bent and deformed while also protecting the delicate lights, wires, and connectors on your tree.

Check For Issues Before Storing Your Christmas Tree

Before packing your tree away in a Christmas tree storage bag, take time to check for damaged limbs and wiring issues. Discovering problems before storing your Christmas tree allows you to order and receive replacement items well in advance of the next holiday season.
