All you have to do is follow a few steps.

First of all, ornament boxes are a must.

This container involves few frills and a small budget it’s a box with cardboard dividers.

For even easier organizing, use a clear garment bag to zip up all of your wrapping paper rolls.

As for lights, you’ll need old pieces of cardboard.

Just like for the rest of your decorations, these should have their own clear-lidded storage bin as well.

Simply layer them on top of one another.
