Wreath Storage Ideas


As beautiful as wreaths can be, they can also be equally difficult to store without becoming dishelveled one holiday to the next.

Here are some ideas to help them keep looking new while minimizing the space necessary to store.

Rubbermaid Wreath Keeper 27-Inch Storage Bag with Handles I have a bag like this and absolutely love it – it holds a very large wreath and I can usually get a small wreath to fit in with it. The price is great too! On the down side it is only made of a tarplike material, so while it keeps weather out it can cause your wreath to lose some of its shape.

The price is significantly higher and you will only be able to store 1 wreath per container, but on the flip-side you will save time next Christmas when you won’t have to rearrage the branches on the wreath.
If you have a dry basement with extra space the most ecomonical way to store a wreath would be to hang it on a nail. The downside would be dust so covering it with a cloth or plastice sheet would be a good idea.
Of course if you use big totes to store Christmas decorations you may be able to fit your wreath in – but most likely it will have a good chance of getting bent out of shape if it is crammed with other decor.

Choose the method that is best for you, but one method I do not advise is usualy a cardboard box. Unless you are one of the rare people to keep Christmas decor somewhere other than the basement, attic or garage, the lack of moisture proofing that cardboard provides can be an open invitation for mold. (Hard lessen learned by my sister this year – who has a damp basement.)
