This ornament box is one of the best ideas for layered storage options in one place. Use it for delicate ornaments that normally require tissue paper or bubble wrap for protection.

Ribbon Storage

9. Cord Bundlers

For all of my long strands of ribbon that I use on the tree and on the mantel, I use cord bundlers to wrap these and store them away. See how I use them on my garland decor. Make sure that when using cord bundlers you don't wrap them too tightly or the ribbons will crease.

Christmas Tree Storage

11. Artificial Christmas Tree Bag

The boxes that most decorations come in tends to get broken or destroyed over time. It's easier to find solid solutions that will last instead of holding your packaging together with 5 layers of tape each year. Get rid of your old tree box and swap over to tree bags for your Christmas tree storage. They are easy to carry and so much easier to fit into your storage area.

12. Upright Christmas Tree Storage

Hard Cases

13. Short Plastic Totes

Hard cases are a little more expensive. They are worth it if you buy a decent brand. I have had these storage bins for years and they are still going strong. They are perfect for storing garlands, long stems or even wrapping paper. And I love that they can slide under beds easily!

16. Label Maker

As you can see these storage bins have been around for a long time. I learned early on that having a label maker is a better idea than writing on the bin. The label can easily be swapped out to accommodate our changing storage needs.

17. Circular Wreath Bags

When boxes or bins take up too much room, switch over to these compact wreath storage holders. They keep the dust off your wreaths so they are ready to go for the next year!
