It make take an extra few minutes to put them away, but you will be grateful when you pull them out next year and find them undamaged.

Things You'll Need

• Hand blown glass Christmas ornaments
• Ornament storage box
• Packing peanuts
• Wrapping foam

Instructions

1. Set aside all the hand-blown glass Christmas ornaments next to an ornament box. Fill the ornament box with foam packing peanuts, available at office stores and mailing services.

2. Take each glass ornament and carefully cover with wrapping foam, being careful not to wrap the ornament too tight. Secure the wrapping foam with a small piece of tape.
