Storing glass ornaments requires a little extra care, especially if you live in a climate that is either humid or freezing cold for several months out of the year.
When it is time to put your ornaments away after the holiday season, you have two options that will keep them from being broken - either store them in the original packaging or wrap them in tissue paper or paper towels. They should then be stored in a strong container, such as the RubberMaid tubs you can find at retail stores, or other similar tubs. Some of these containers are even specially made to hold glass ball ornaments.
Store the ornaments in a place that is neither too hot/humid or too cold. The reason for this is that the ornaments can develop spots on them under extreme conditions.
When you take the ornaments out of storage, and they have been in a cold area, allow the container to come to room temperature before unwrapping the balls. This will help to avoid condensation from forming on the balls and can also help stop the development of the spots on them.
If you intend to wrap the balls in tissue paper, choose white paper for the job. The tissue paper c
an be found in many different retail stores, from pharmacies to retail stores, during and shortly after the holidays. If you live in a humid area, and wrap them in colored tissue paper, the color of the paper may rub off on your ornaments. Enjoy the New Year!
