How To Safely Pack Christmas Decorations
Check out this step-by-step guide from Out of State Long Distance Movers on How to Safely Pack and Organize Your Holiday & Christmas Decorations.
Christmas Tree
The tree is often the biggest and bulkiest item when packing for holiday travel. To make sure it arrives intact and can be used for years to come, pack it with care.
If your tree is artificial, it probably came in a box originally. Getting it back into that box may not be easy, especially if the box has seen better days. A high-quality replacement storage container specifically made for trees may be worth investing in because they are usually more durable than cardboard or hard plastic making them ideal for protecting your Investment during transport.
Indoor And Outdoor Lights
Once you've taken your lights down, do your best to keep them organized. If you can't find the box they originally came in, trace and cut out a piece of cardboard to create your own Christmas lightbox. Packing your lights up carefully now will save you time and frustration when trying to untangle them later.
To avoid a tangle of holiday lights, take the time to wind up each spool before rubber banding them or clipping them together. Even better, put each string in its own storage bag.
Ornaments
Holiday ornaments are often quite fragile, and must be handled with care so that they may last for many years. For some of you, this may mean having an ornament that's been passed down for several decades. Even if that's not the case, taking proper care of your ornaments is important so that they don't break easily.Though ornaments come in all different shapes, sizes, and weights, they are also quite delicate. To ensure your ornament's safety throughout the year (and avoid any costly accidents), it is advisable to store them in their original box. If you don't have the luxury of using the first box anymore, consider purchasing a durable styrofoam or hard plastic holiday storage box instead. And finally, depending on which method of storage you choose, be sure to getDIVIDERS for extra precaution!
Wreaths
If you want to protect your wreath investment and ensure they arrive safe and sound, purchase a plastic wreath container that corresponds to the size of your holiday decoration. If your DIY creation is adorned with pinecones, berries or other small odds and ends, make sure these fragile items are taken into account when packing everything up for storage.
Lawn Decorations
Pack your decorations in their original box, or if you don't want to use a box, extra-large trash bags work just as well and will prevent dust buildup.
