Craft tip and technique:Ornament Storage BoxHere is a great idea for an ornament storage box to individually and safely house some of the ornaments featured on How-to-Arts-and-Crafts -- plastic containers from a salad bar. I use them and they work great. You also get the added benefit of recycling plastic!Whenever I go to a take out salad bar, I save my plastic container. Over the years, I have saved many of these containers.
I run them through the dishwasher, wipe off any water spots, and keep them on hand to store the wider ornaments I make.
For example, in these photos, you can see how nicely the
Halloween spider ornament
fits inside the container. He looks mighty comfy in there, doesn't he?!
Of course, this container works swell for smaller ornaments too but you may need to add some tissue paper or a small piece of bubble wrap.
These containers certainly have helped me out with my Christmas ornament storage needs. (Sometimes I even stick a bow on top and give the whole package as a hostess gift! More on that later.)
