How do you organize and store all of your Christmas décor? I use big Sterilite bins.
You can find these guys at Target, Walmart, etc.
I’ve had them for many years and they’ve worked just great for storing my Christmas Décor.
Last week I spent a day taking down all my inside Christmas décor and I actually took some time to re-organize the bins.
I use large Ziploc bags to sort things inside…
I even put my non-glass bulbs in the bags.
When my bigger boys were younger they broke a few of the glass bulbs, so I decided to get unbreakable ones from now on. I liked the gold ones AND they are glass. I kept them and store them in the box they came in, inside the bin.
My stair garland and stockings fill one of the big bins.
I use a shoe box to store my artificial poinsettias and this gets placed inside one of the bins as well.
Another bin is for my new nativity set, the sanctuary that my father-in-law built for me and the table garland that goes around the set. Notice how I can take apart and fold the sanctuary? How awesome is that?! I was thrilled that it fit so perfectly inside.
I made some fun new labels for my bins...
printed them, cut them out and slid them through my awesome sticker maker.
When all was said and done, I ended up with a few things that went to Goodwill.
I mean that it went straight to goodwill, it did not sit on the floor in the garage for more than a couple of minutes, simply to take pictures. It went directly into my husbands vehicle to be dropped off at Goodwill the next day.
Here’s a little tip for you: When organizing a space, de-junk, de-clutter, get rid of, donate, throw out, whatever you want to call it, just purge some of the stuff. Especially if you haven’t used it for a while. Why waste space? Someone’s trash is often another’s treasure.
So tell me, have you taken your Christmas décor down? Got any great storage solutions to organizing it?
May you be a little inspired!
Until next time,
