How to Store Decorations for Halloween

Tips

• Use plastic stackable tubs for storage instead of cardboard boxes to protect decorations from moisture, water, bugs, and pests.
• Wrap delicate decorations in bubble wrap or protective paper, or use repurposed padded bags for medium to small items.
• Use zippered plastic bags to protect fabric items from moisture and pests.
• Label all bags and packing materials with the name of the item using a permanent marker to make packing and unpacking easier.
• Place smaller items inside larger items, such as using Halloween decorations that are containers, to minimize storage space and protect smaller items.
• Add an inventory sheet inside each tub listing which items are stored in it to save time and headaches when packing back up.
• Label the tubs to identify contents, especially if the tubs are not holiday-colored, to quickly find what you are looking for.
