The Pre-Lit Tree this is an easy fix depending on how well you preserve the original box. . .
- Fold the limbs neatly back together, Use ribbon or twine to hold the tree in place and store in the original box
Option 2 for those of us not so careful in the excitement of Christmas. . .
- Twine/Wrap the tree up
- Visit you local Dry cleaners for about four dry cleaning bags (some cleaners charge you, but if you are a regular they may not)
- Place the tree in the bag (Taping off the small hole at the top closed). Use two bags for the top and two bags for the bottom.
- Tie with a ribbon or more twine and store upright in the garage or store room.
- Wrap in bubble wrap and tape shut, then place at the bottom of a 17 gallon storage container
- Plastic: Place these around the middle and outside of the wreath in the same storage container.
- Glass: Wrap these with bubble wrap and gift tissue and place in shoe boxes (make sure they are not loose, it needs to be a tight fit).Put the lid on the box and tape the sides closed. Set the boxes on top of the plastic ornament and the wreath.
Garland:
- Simply roll it up and place on top of the glass ornament (buffer).
Stockings:
- Place those on top and close the box. Tape it and Mark it!
