If you're the type of person to take your decorations down, you probably wonder how to store them. I know, it can be tempting to just shove them in a box and worry about untangling everything next year. Please, don't. I'm getting stressed just thinking of your stress.
First: Lights.
You could use a garden hose spool for your lights. Pro: Easy unspooling if done right. Con: broken lights if done wrong.
You could also grab a few hangers to spool lights onto. Pro: easy vertical storage if you also get one of those space savers for the closet that you can put these hangers on. Con: spooling these lights can be just as frustrating as untangling them.
To cut down on waste, you could use leftover wrapping paper rolls. Pro: Less waste and less tangles! Con: personally, I'd be frustrated that mine doesn't look as perfect as this guy's.
You could also reuse those Amazon boxes that have been piling up. Pro: again, less waste. Con: less pretty.
You could also not take down your lights. If you must, take away the 'Christmas' part of them and call them fairy lights. Make forts, wall art, chandeliers...if you do this, do a bit of research into the best quality lights and get the most bang for your buck
So that's all the cool things you can do with lights! Tomorrow we'll start on Christmas ornaments.
