How to Make Ornament Storage Separators

Instead of spending money on a bin or container designed for ornament storage, create one using cardboard scraps from around the house. When you use divided sections to store ornaments, there is less of a risk that your ornaments will break. Not only will you save money making your own organizer, but you will also save money on ornaments each Christmas. Adjust the size of the cardboard separators to fit the size of your ornaments. For example, smaller sections for smaller ornaments.

  Mark every 3 inches along each piece of the longer cardboard. Cut a slit along this mark. Place the pieces with the slits facing up in the container.
