    I try to keep the original boxes for very fragile ornaments, but the others I lay them in layers between tissue paper in clothing gift boxes. I have some large clear storage boxes just for ornaments so that nothing heavy gets laid on them.

    I put them in original boxes in a tote. You can use bubble wrap or cardboard in s totes or use ornament storage boxes.

    Hello Joannie,

    Buy a clear plastic storage box from DIY and pack them in there. Label it up and store away until next year. They will be clean and dry till then........

    I have smaller totes so they are easier to store on a shelf. I use my Christmas stockings and tissue paper to pad them. I also store any special holiday towels and linens with them. I stack them on a wire shelf rack. Special ornaments that are fragile are kept in small boxes (or the original box) inside a tote. I have a collection of handmade ornaments and they go in to a lined repurposed picnic basket so I know which container they are in.
