How To Pack Your Holiday Decorations Away Like A BOSS!!

I go completely bananas for every holiday. So bananas, that the question I get asked the most is "What do you do with all of your decorations?"
I shrink wrap everything! Shrink wrap is the biggest space saver ever. I wrap everything from my gigantic Christmas tree to my gigantic paper clay Halloween pumpkins. The stuff is super cheap and easy to use. I even wrap some of my garlands with the lights and pinecone still on them.
I add a couple moisture absorbing packets and bug repelling packets to the inside of whatever I shrink wrap. Some of these packets come with a nice scent so it won't smell musty when you take it out of storage
Check out this mountain of Christmas stuff. I store these things in huge heavy duty plastic containers under my staircase. I have enough room to store three holidays, so I take the Christmas stuff out to put away the Halloween stuff.
I also write notes to myself with....little happy faces...don't smirk! This is a good way to remember how to set certain things up...who doesn't like happy faces?
I wrap up everything! The shrink wrap also helps with protecting delicate things.
I hope this helps some of you!
Enjoyed the project?

Sippied on Jan 01, 2017All this shrink wrap will to in the landfill and is very wasteful, take a picture of every angle and recreate the tree the same way next year.

Bryan's Workshop on Jan 01, 2017I think you should research where your trash goes after pickup in your area. In Japan, we need to separate our trash before collection. Used shrink wrap is considered burnable garbage and is taken to the municipal incinerator where it gets incinerated using state of the art combustion air control and a high-tech pollution filtering apparatus resulting in no toxic chemicals or particulates from the smoke. :)

Bryan's Workshop on Dec 02, 2017Thank you! We are big on recycling and reusing! :) I know that Canada has a strictly regulated incinerator sector too.
