Yay for shrink wrapping. I would add a few of the pine scented icicles or something with a Christmas scent that you like (cotton balls with essential oils or sprayed with room spray, etc.) so that your tree doesn't end up smelling like plastic when you unwrap it next year. The shrink wrap can kind of marinate its scent into the tree and decorations.
Interesting idea! I like the cotton ball suggestion. In the years that we have done this, we have actually never had an issue with a plastic smell. My only concern with leaving wet oils and sprays in a shrink wrapped enclosure for a year is the possible humidity and bacterial growth that could come from that 😅
Definitely a yay on him shrink wrapping that absolutely gorgeous tree. That idea is a game changer! Thank you for sharing your Christmas organizing tips. Plus I just love getting a glimpse at your ornaments and wreaths. So classic! ❤️
Your should always wrap your expensive glass ornaments in Acid Free Tissue paper. Regular tissue paper will eventually take off the paint and design, trust me I learned this the hard way. I bought a huge pack on Amazon. I purchased my ornament storage from Balsam Hill; their expensive but worth it.
Excellent tip, Monique! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Absolutely a yay....thanks for sharing your tips. ❤❤
I ❤ your husband's hack for shrink wrapping the Christmas tree!
I decorated a Christmas tree years ago and she re-shrink wraps it every year after Christmas.
Ok, so really cute video. Love the tips. Where are your likes ? This vid deserves more than 30 likes and 4 comments. Come on people, what are you guys watching????
Haha thank you so much, Alicia! Growth can be slow, but it's subscribers like you who make the difference 😊 Please feel free to share this video and others with your friends and family. Thanks for watching and for your support!
Love your idea about storing wreaths vertically in a bin! I usually hang mine on a hanger and cover them with a clear dry cleaning bag, and then hang them from hooks in my attic. My way does work well, but I like having another option!
Your idea sounds good, too! Vertically storing wreaths is also worth a try if you ever want to switch it up or save a bit more space. It's just about finding what works for you 😊
I love all of your ideas and I'm definitely shrink wrapping my tree this year
Eeeep! This makes me so happy to hear. It's such a huge time saver. Future you will be glad you did it 😊
yay for bubble wrap. I am going to try this next year. I was trying to find a way to keep the decor on an just set it up the next year. Think I found it. Thanks for sharing.
It's such a genius time saver! There is one tree in my house that I have not redecorated in YEARS, and it's always a guest and family favorite. I'm glad you were able to find this video helpful! Please feel free to share with anyone you know who hasn't taken down their tree yet 🤗
you have really lovely decorations
Thank you! They stay so lovely because I always make sure to store them this way every year 😊
Thanks for the tips.... your husbands idea is a yay 😀... I been doing that for 2 yrs now to my trees I put outside...I love it 😊
He'll love to hear that you said that! It's fun to start from scratch, but it's also such a special feeling to unravel a beautifully decorated tree every year 😊
The crown tree topper îs incredibile beautiful!! Where did you find it?
You have great taste! We sell those crowns at my shop, Village Antiques 😊
Gosh i love all your decorations 🤩 i wish I had those and I wish we had a store only where you can buy storage organizer
When the container store, Walmart, Target, and craft stores don't have what I am looking for, I just search on Amazon for storage containers. I hope that helps 😅
My BF and I keep a skinny tree at the top of the stairs, no ornaments, only lights. We pop it into a tall tree bag and put in the attic. We keep a small 3’ tree on the screened porch, lights and ornaments, and pop that one into a clear lawn and leaf bag. Other trees are disassembled and decorations stored separately.
That's a brilliant idea for storing a skinny tree! I love the simplicity. Thank you for sharing your organization hacks 😊
Great idea next year I’m using your husband way
Great tips! where do you get the cardboard ornament divider? Any brands you recommend?
Hi, Christie! I just find mine off of Amazon by searching for "partition cardboard box dividers". ULINE also makes them. I hope that helps 😊
@@FarmhousebyAmitha Wonderful, thank you!
Where did you purchase your large ornaments?
Hi, Tasha! I get all of my large ornaments from my shop in Houston. It's called Village Antiques. We're located at *1200 Blalock Rd **#350**, Houston, TX 77055* . Open Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00am - 5:00pm. You can also give us a call at (713) 468-3931 if you have questions or would like any items shipped to you 😊
I have too many ornaments to put into dividers so I usually just use the tissue from the old presents and wrap all individually
Not a bad idea! If it works, it works 😊
It would be a nay for me. It is because I do not decorate my trees the same every year. I like to combine different colors and textures to make a “new” tree. And also, I don’t think it is that much work to take down ornaments and put them back in.
Totally understandable! I know it's not for everyone, but I like that the option is there 😊
It's a Yay. Can I borrow him? 😀
😂😂😂
I wish I could shrink wrap my tree but I don’t have anywhere to store it that way.
I understand that! For me, I find that it doesn't actually take up any more room than storing it in a box. I'd suggest you give it a try at least once, and if it doesn't work for you, go back to the way you typically do it 🙂
Where did u get bins?
The container store and Amazon!
Where to buy the dividers?
I got mine off Amazon!
Yea
Glad you liked this! 😊
Great idea but I change the colours and style every year so that wouldn't work for me.
Nay on tree idea unless you can hide it.
Yay if you have room to store it but it does take up a lot of prime real estate.
I can understand that! With how much space all the containers can take up, that's why my husband just shrink wraps the whole tree 😅 Whichever method you use, you'll always need some space to store away your holiday decor. Just depends on your home and your preference ❤️
