Ornament and Figurine Storage

These containers are the perfect solution for storing breakable ornaments. They come collapsed so you can then easily assemble and add in the storage inserts that you need. It is also multi-layered so you can fit several rows of Christmas ornaments on top of each other.
Take up less storage space by collapsing it down when not in use for the season. The storage tote has handles which makes it easier to carry.

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.
10. Ribbon Storage Box
If ribbon is your go-to method for accessorising presents, you might want to look at investing in this ribbon storage box. It makes cutting and storing your holiday ribbon a cinch and can fit multiple sizes.
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
If you have the space at the end of the holiday season, it is WELL worth it to store your faux tree upright for the next season with this easy upright storage bag. Plus, you can store it decorated - a nice perk if you don't plan on changing out your decor for the following year.
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!
14. Christmas Containers
These deep plastic bins are nice if you have the room to stack them. You can fill them with whatever festive decorations are left. Plus, clear containers make it so much easier to know what is inside.
15. Front Opening Storage
These are some of my favorite Christmas decor storage ideas. These bins are nice for stacking and looking like normal shelving and cabinets. They are easy to open and feel just like normal cupboards. They also have wheels so you can easily roll them to wherever they need to go.
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.
Wreath Holder
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!
18. Hard Wreath Storage
But hard bins are also nice for storing your artificial wreaths if that is your preference. These plastic containers are just the right size to store your hanging door decor.
Soft Storage
19. Tree Skirt Hangers
Keep your tree skirt looking amazing and not dingy. Instead of shoving your tree skirts in a box, try folding them over a coat hanger and hanging them up in a closet or on a hook in your storage room. This will keep them long lasting.
