Couple of ideas for storing you lights safely and making sure they won’t be tangled next year.
1. The Cardboard Method
One way of storing Christmas lights is to take a piece of rectangular cardboard and start cutting slits down each side, once you have done this you can begin to slot your lights into the slits and wind them round the board. This method is very good as the lights become very easy to put away as they can be stored flat.
2. The Coat Hanger Method
Another way you could store you lights is to wrap them around a coat hanger this will stop them from getting tangled and also means you could store them neatly in a spare wardrobe.
3. The Wrapping Paper Roll Method
The final idea for stopping lights from getting tangled is quite similar to the first all you need is the cardboard inside of wrapping paper roll you just finished with. Simply take your cardboard roll cut a slit in the top and bottom so that the lights can be secured and then wind all the way down until all your lights are ready to be put away for next year.
4. The Egg Carton Bauble Method
If you’ve still got a lot of decorations to put away maybe try placing some of your more intricate baubles into egg cartons.
