When to dismantle the Christmas tree?

Tips for disassembling your Christmas tree

Storing your tree and decorations is very important so that you can get the most out of your decorations next year. Check out some tips:

• To disassemble, follow the reverse order of assembly: start by removing the balls and ornaments, go to the flasher and just start to unhook and bend the branches with the tree already clean;
• In order not to tangle or break the twinkle cord, wrap it in some packaging or in a cardboard roll (the one left over from the paper towel);
• Glass balls can be stored straight in a shoe box, sorted by color. To store smaller balls, one option is to reuse a cardboard egg carton.
• For delicate decorations, a good idea is to store them in zip-lock bags with a little air inside;
• Wrap the garlands in your own hand and store them separately, one by one, in plastic bags. They are fragile and can burst or tangle with other decorations if not stored properly;
• To keep everything organized, identify the contents of each of the boxes and label the bags. It will be much easier to find everything next year, especially if you keep everything in the same place or in a bigger box.

With all these tips, your Christmas tree will definitely look beautiful and your decoration will be a success! To complete the Christmas mood out there, also check out ideas for choosing your Christmas wreath.
