"I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village, and today I'm giving you some tips on how to get all of your decorations packed up for next Christmas. We're going to go ahead and pack these balls up. These are papier-mâché Christmas balls. They're very sturdy and they actually came in this box that I'm going to go ahead and pack them right up in. This couldn't be simpler. This is really the easiest way. Many years though, I have purchased things like ornaments like this and then gone ahead and thrown the box away without even thinking. Then when it was time to pack everything up, I had to go to the store and buy an extra container than had the different dividers just to keep everything in order, when actually all I really need is this box, the original box. Go ahead and save all the boxes that your ornaments come in if they are reusable. That way everything packs up nice and neat just like that into the box. Then you can go ahead and cover it. This is going to store and stack very nicely in whatever area of your house you want to pack it away in. It's very functional. You can turn it sideways. It can squeeze into a little corner or a closet. It's a great way to pack your ornaments away."
