"Hi! I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village, and today I'm showing you how to pack up your Christmas decorations for safe keeping until next year. Now, I'm going to go ahead and pack what I call a grouping. This is my ice grouping. The colors are white, pale, pink, and blue, very soft blue. They're kind of icy colors. I'm going to start by packing away these little snow children. The costumes themselves are very soft. They actually give the rest of my ornaments a cushion. However, the faces are made out of porcelain, so I want to go ahead and protect that. I'm just going to take a piece of tissue paper. I'm going to give the face a lot of padding. The rest of the body doesn’t need it because it's naturally cushioned just by the design of the ornament itself. I'm going to take my tissue paper and wrap it around giving it a nice kind of little twist there so that it's extra padded. Then I'm just going to go ahead and put that down at the bottom. That face is going to be very protected. Then I'm going to go ahead and do it with this other ornament."
