Christmas decorations are so fun to collect. Each season is a new opportunity to share the holiday spirit in your home or office environment! Holiday decoration items are available everywhere and because they are not often very expensive, it is easy to channel your inner interior designer and indulge in the holiday spirit.

After the season comes to an end, it is a great idea to utilize Self Storage Deer Park. Each holiday item can be carefully wrapped and set into larger storage containers. You might also set up shelving in your storage unit so as to stack and sort your Christmas items. Here a just a few Christmas ideas for your home:

Holiday Bells

Holiday bells are a beautiful decoration that suits any style of Christmas design. Often, bells are available in small and large variations. Small bells might be tied to Christmas garland. You can use green wire that is found in the floor department to make twist ties and attach the bells. You might also use beautiful ribbon to tie large bells to a door. When the door opens and closes, you’ll hear the bells sound off with holiday vibes!

To store the bells, use zip lock baggies and separate the bells by size. If you have any leftover tins from cookies or popcorn containers, you can reuse them to store items like bells. It’s a good idea to keep wired bells separate from the others to stay organized and to keep your things tidy.

Popcorn Garland

A classic holiday decoration is popcorn garland. Choose whatever popcorn you prefer to cook or pop. Once you have a bowl of popcorn, let it cool. Don’t add any salt or flavor because this popcorn is going to be used for decoration only. Once the popcorn cools, drizzle school glue over the top. Dip the wet popcorn into glitter and let it dry. Using a large sewing needle and thread, place a piece of popcorn onto the needle and pull through so as to make a chain or necklace with a row of threaded popcorn.

To store this popcorn garland, gently lay it into a plastic storage container. For this project, a shoe box size containers work best at Self Storage Deer Park. Each year, you can open the container and simply reuse as needed for instant holiday cheer. This garland can be hung on a tree or placed casually across a table for easy and pretty Christmas decoration.

Tea Lights

Another Christmas decoration idea is to use tea lights that you’ll store at Self Storage Deer Park to add quick and easy shimmer to any room. Tea lights come in all different scents and colors. They can be used inside of glass candle holders or jars. To store these candles, simply place into a container and keep them in a climate controlled unit. If you’ll store them close to the front of your unit, you can stop by any time to create an instant Christmas ambiance!
