‘Tis the season to be jolly, but it is also the
season for packing and moving, and it doesn't necessarily mean you're moving
away. It could just mean that you're moving the Christmas decors that you
packed last year so that that you can use them again, and of course after the
season for Christmas trees, you need to pack them again for next year. Of
course for others, moving Christmas decors could really mean you are moving to
another place. Either way, you will need to know how to properly pack and move
your Christmas decors because if not, you could end up with broken Christmas
lights, shattered decors, and other things. These six tips will also let you
know how to pack your Christmas items in cheap moving boxes yet still have the
guarantee that your decors will be intact and fully functional until you arrive
at your destination.
Sort your things out and separate the holidays
decors from other items – That simply means that you should be organized in
packing all your things, of course including your Christmas decors. Do not put
your Christmas decors with your other regular items like shoes, toothbrushes,
clothes, etc. This allows you to easily find your holidays decors throughout
all the ruckus once you arrive at your destination. This also prevents any
static electricity sometimes produced through clothing from affecting any
electronic Christmas decors you have.
Use plastic bags to store your holiday paper
decor – The last thing you want is to get any holiday paper décor accidentally
wet during a move, so it is highly recommended to store them in plastic bags,
boxes or even folders. Storing them in plastic folders is a great way to
prevent them from wrinkling as well.
Be sure to untangle Christmas lights before you
pack them – Christmas lights give Christmas a different kind of meaning, to
many, christmas without Christmas lights is empty. However, it could be
dangerous to use them if the wires are tangled together. It is a basic in
electronics always to use them the right way, that means properly organized
wiring and no tangling up!
Use ornament boxes or egg cartons to store
ornaments – Ornament boxes are specially designed boxes for the storage of
ornaments, so you can be sure that they will protect your ornaments adequately.
You can also DIY some egg cartons, these cartons are tough and are a great tool
for storing round objects. They can protect fragile eggs, why not your
ornament!
Use a tree storage bag to store your artificial
Christmas tree – The use of artificial Christmas trees instead of a real tree
is more practical and of course environmentally friendly. You can use your
artificial Christmas tree every year, and you won't need to go through the
hassle of buying a real tree for the next Christmas. To store your artificial
Christmas tree properly and protect it from the elements like moisture and
dust, store it in a Christmas storage box or bag.
