Keeping your Christmas tree decorations safe and organized may seem like a hassle, but it doesn't have to be. Just like your Christmas tree storage, you just have to give it a little thought in advance to come up with the best plan of action. But once you do, you'll be so much happier when it's time to dismantle. And the great news is there are plenty of easy and affordable ornament storage options that will keep your baubles from being an organizational nightmare. Whether you stick to ornament sets or have an eclectic assortment of unique ornaments, you'll want to be sure they're put away properly!

When it comes to storing Christmas ornaments, you can go one of two ways: You can buy a designated holiday ornament organizer or you can make one yourself from common household objects. Crafters and home bloggers have figured out plenty of creative DIY solutions and hacks—think organizers made from things like egg cartons, plastic cups, and even coffee filters. Just make sure to keep a rough count of how many ornaments you own, so you know how many supplies to buy before you commit.

If you decide to buy an organizer, there are lots of options to shop, including under-the-bed storage or stackable containers you can keep in your attic storage or garage. Use them to organize whole sets of ornaments, Christmas tree toppers, and especially your family's irreplaceable heirloom ornaments. No matter which option you choose, when it comes time to take down your Christmas tree, this can be the year that you finally make sense of the holiday madness! Trust us, you'll be thankful you did it once it's time to decorate the Christmas tree again next year. 😉
