Packing White Christmas Ornaments

Video Transcript

"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. There it's nice and padded. I'm going to go ahead and put that down. Then I have another. I'm just going to go ahead and do that again. Wrapping the face. These will be very well protected. I'm going to put them in the box, and that's going to give it a nice cushion for the rest of my delicate ornaments. Next, I think that I’m going to pack this little papier-mâché doll up. She doesn't need any wrapping. She's going to be do just fine in there on top of the other ornaments. Then my little tea cup is also going to need some tissue paper. Here is a tip on buying tissue paper. Wait until the sales. Wait until the after Christmas sales and then stock up. I got these really heavily discounted. I got them like 85% off, or something like that. It's very inexpensive. You can always use it. You can buy Christmas theme ones for the following year for wrapping presents. Go ahead and just buy the plain generic white ones for this sort of wrapping purpose, or also for just birthday gifts throughout the year and that sort of thing. Go ahead and wrap that. It doesn't need a lot of tissue paper, because I'm actually packing right on top of my little cushioned boy and girl. I'm going to go ahead and put in my butterfly. Again, I try to keep my ornaments grouped together. That way if I decide I'm going to have more than one tree one year, or if I want a certain area decorated in a certain theme color wise or just theme wise, everything's all packed up and ready to go. I don't have to pull everything out of every single box before I can actually finish my arrangement. I can do one at a time. I think I am going to see if that one squeezes in. Then these 2. Don't over pack it, because you also don't want anything to break. Then these boxes are going to go into a bigger plastic container. That's going to keep everything really nice and secure and easy to find. I think I'm done with that. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to put a piece of tissue paper on top in case there's any movement. That will keep it all packed in nice and neat. I'm going to go ahead and cover the box. That's it. I'm going to move onto the next one. I'll see you at the next clip."
