In my quest for something to store my Christmas tree decorations and lights, I scoured the internet for a cost efficient method. Our tree was 9 ft. tall. This meant there were a lot of decorations, and I mean a lot. 26 x 4 different colors of balls, 20 x 4 different colors of snowflakes, 24 x 4 different colors of icicles, plus an assortment of other ornaments. In addition to ornaments there were also multiple strands of lights. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I also didn't want to toss everything in a trash bag and throw it in the closet (DH's suggestion). So I started thinking, and eventually ended up at Dollar Tree, my safe place. Y'all...it was an eye opening experience. I managed to get everything I needed to store decorations and lights for $12. TWELVE DOLLARS!
$4 - 12 blue containers (3/$1)
$8 - 8 cupcake containers (1/$1)

Cut a whole around the circle of each blue container. This will allow
you to feed in the Christmas lights, as each strand takes two containers. |
