• Uses acid-free materials for damage prevention

ProPik Wreath Storage Bag

For round storage needs

This round storage bag comes in handy for everything from wreaths to lights to garlands and more.

Best Round Design

Find on Amazon

While meant for a wreath, this round storage bag is an excellent option for garlands, tinsel, and other bulky or oddly-shaped decorations. The round shape and open interior make it’s possible to place individually wrapped ornaments — just be careful not to place anything on top, as this circular fabric bag doesn’t contain any protective layers. It does, however, feature tear-resistant material, tough handles, and a labeling slot for quick and easy identification. Thanks to its budget-friendly price, you can buy a few on the cheap for all the decorations that won’t fit in a more typical ornament storage box.

Pros:

• Hanging loop for storage
• Tough construction and anti-tear fabric can hold larger, more prickly wreaths
• Large enough to hold multiple smaller wreaths at once

Cons:

• A heavy-duty zipper would be better
• Not firm, so not for stacking anything on top

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a quality ornament storage box?

There are a few key elements to any quality ornament storage box. Durability sturdiness, and a little extra padding throughout are always three points to look for. It’s also nice to have a variety of boxes — some with compartments and some that are open. This way, you can pack more fragile ornaments in egg cartons or even the box in which they came, and then place them together in an open storage box. And it’s always helpful to have bins or boxes that are labeled. This way you’re never playing the guessing game when hauling out your ornaments for the season.

What is the proper care for ornaments?

When putting away ornaments, it’s best to follow a few key steps for proper storage. If ornaments have a hook, take those off so that no ornaments are scratched while they’re in storage. If some are prone to collecting dust, make sure to dust them a bit in the cracks and crevices to keep them looking new. And finally, if you wrap your ornaments, do so in acid-free paper. This will help to keep them free from moisture and acid, which tarnish ornaments over time. And finally, keep full storage boxes in a dry, cool location.
