Video Transcript

"When you store glass balls, you've got to be a little more careful with those than you probably would be with any other of the Hallmark ornaments. They're a little more durable, and of course, because they're made out of glass, they're a little more fragile. So, if you do not have the box, the original box that it came in, take your little gift box and put your tissue paper in it and gently store your ornament in there. I'm sure that everybody has seen these kind of containers that you can get after Christmas to store your ball ornaments into. Never ever store them like this, where you just sit the ball in it. They will break. If you want to condense space, and use one of these, make sure you take a little bit of tissue paper and shove it down into the holes and then place your ornament in each container, each one of these little sections. It'll keep it from jarring, 'cause you are going to pick this up and move it, and when you do, they do break because of the force."
