Taking Care of Ornaments

By Barbara Crews, About.com

Do you have any suggestions for new collectors on taking care of their ornaments?
A lot of it depends on where you live and the weather.

  • I have a cheap (but clean!) makeup brush that I use to carefully dust the ornaments when taking them off the tree.
  • Then each ornament is individually wrapped in tissue and stored in Rubbermaid bins.
  • Be sure to add a few moisture absorbers in the bins.
  • Never put the ornaments in the attic, basement or garage.
As you can tell, storage is always a problem when you have a lot of ornaments!
