How Do I Store Decorative Nutcracker Figurines?

Store the Nutcracker figurines properly to avoid damage.

To keep Nutcracker figurines safe, you need to store them properly. Bubble wrap provides a cushion to keep the Nutcracker safe, especially when the container is moved. It also keeps the figurines from touching and potentially scratching each other. In addition to careful packing, the Nutcracker figurines need kept away from all moisture, according to the Nutcracker Museum website. Wooden Nutcrackers, for example, are susceptible to water damage.

Things You'll Need

• Bubble wrap
• Masking tape
• Plastic container with lid

Instructions

1. Lay the Nutcracker at the edge of a sheet of bubble wrap large enough to wrap around the figurine.

2. Grip the edge of the bubble wrap and the Nutcracker figurine. Roll the Nutcracker and bubble wrap so the wrapping covers the figurine.

3. Tape the bubble wrap in place.

4. Lay the Nutcracker figurine flat in a plastic container. Repeat the process with the other figurines. Stack them in the container, but do not over fill it.

5. Put the lid on the container. Store it in a cool, dry area away from heating and cooling vents.
