In reply to Diane M Dalton. Oh, I love the original tinsel! It does tend to get creased more easily than the newer "plastic" type of tinsel. I would get a long Tupperware type container or box and put tissue paper in the bottom. Then put a layer of tinsel followed by more tissue paper and more layers of tinsel. You could also use cardboard between the layers instead of tissue. When you have all the tinsel sandwiched in there make sure the tinsel doesn't have room to move around. Depending on the size of your container you may have to add more crumpled up tissue to keep it all in place.

Thanks for the article! I use real lead tinsel. How would you go about storing it? I don't want to just throw it in a baggie. I want to try to keep it nice and straight. Thank you!

For really special ornaments I would wrap them in acid free tissue paper and put them in an archival ( made from cotton) box. They are pretty pricey but it would be perfect for very special ornaments.

The snow in October was a real surprise! My husband was here for the summer and he said it was a bit brutal. Will have to see! Lol. I don't care for the heat. Cold, so far, isn't horrible. I really do thank you for your input as to ornament storage. I just wouldn't have thought about it, until it might have been too late. How do you manage all those wax items? They can be the worst, especially the older ones. Hope my house will keep my regular candles ok! We learned the hard way not to leave fruit for the store overnight in the car! Frozen cantaloupe!

In reply to Jauquetta. I hope it's not too hot there this year. I think it's pretty close to Ohio summer weather though, hot, humid and lots of corn!

In reply to taryterre. Well, if someone breaks into your house to get your ornaments they will never find them!

In reply to LindaRae. Thank you! I may be going overboard on the plaid this year - I found a plaid crockpot at the local grocery store that I bought JUST because it was plaid :) Now I have to figure out what to cook in it for the holidays!

Pam,
I grew up using the same box of tinsel! So it made me smile when you talked about reusing things. Always love seeing your posts.
I am also a red plaid fan.
