Protect Fragile Ornaments
Delicate glass and ceramic pieces can be stored in reused tissue paper or packaging materials. Alternatively, you can hot-glue plastic cups to cardboard sheets, and then place the sheets into a larger bin for a zero-risk solution.
Easy-Clip Tree Ornaments

Add ribbon before ornaments
Begin your tree decorating by adding lights and then the ribbon. Ornaments should always go on last. If you attempt to add ribbon after hanging ornaments, you run the risk of breaking ornaments as you style your tree. Now it's time to grab your scissors and start ribboning.
Hang heavy ornaments higher on the tree by putting them close to the trunk. The closer to the tree trunk, the sturdier the branches will be. To space out heavy ornaments throughout the entire tree instead of just on the bottom branches, put them far back in the tree so they have more support.

How do you distribute Christmas ornaments?
Work from top to bottom when decorating your tree and try to distribute the ornaments evenly, but not symmetrically. Remember to place some ornaments a few inches back into the branches, to give the tree depth. What kind of topper you choose depends on the theme and style of your tree.
Use Tissue Paper and Cardboard
Keep precious heirlooms intact by wrapping ornaments in tissue paper, then storing them in shallow plastic containers. Use cardboard to divide the bin into smaller compartments. Use tissue paper, cardboard pieces, or felt scraps to protect ornaments from thumps and bumps.
- Before storing: ...
- Store the ornaments in their original boxes and packaging. ...
- Use plenty of paper or bubble wrap between ornaments. ...
- Pack glass ornaments separately. ...
- Blown-glass ornaments should be turned upside down so that any condensation will escape for protection of the paint inside.
use bubble wrap or decoration storage containers (avoid wrapping decorations in a newspaper, as the ink rubs off) fragile decorations such as bauble balls will be less prone to breaking if they're stored in boxes with dividers or egg cartons that are kept in tightly sealed plastic containers.
Remember to wrap as tightly as you can so that everything will stay in place. You will want to wrap several layers so that it will be nice and secure. Having one person hold one end of the wrap, while the other person walks around with the wrap makes it quite a bit easier.
