Step 1
Put them in an easily identified box. If you plan to store Valentine's Day decorations in your garage or attic, it's important to put them in a box that you can easily identify. Colored plastic tubs are an easy way to do this and keep your precious decorations protected. Try using a pink or red tub for the Valentine holiday.

Step 2
Use lots of padding. When you store Valentine's Day decorations, you should place lots of bubble wrap and tissue paper around delicate breakables. This will help ensure that they remain in one piece for the next year.

Step 3
Keep glitter intact with plastic bags. Many Valentine's Day decorations have glitter or sparkle added to them, which can be quite a hassle when it comes time to store them. Place each item in a separate plastic bag to help keep the excess glitter contained.

Step 4
Remove batteries if necessary. When you store Valentine's Day decorations, always remove the batteries from any items that you won't be using for several months. If you leave the batteries in storage, they can burst and ruin your decorations.

Step 5
Keep your decorations cool. Many items can become disfigured if left in a hot attic or storage unit for too long, so place heat-sensitive items in a separate storage tote and keep it in the closet or under a bed.
