Default christmas lights - 07-14-2007, 11:29 PM

I know it's not that time of year, but I was going thru my things and found some lights. They're all jumbled. Is there a better to organize this stuff?

Maybe if you roll them up carefully and box them they will be easier to use at Christmas.

I always try to rebox them in the original box if possible to keep them from tangling.

We carefully put them in boxes which we store in our condo locker.

The in-laws have started covering up their Christmas tree and just leaving it up! They don't spend a lot of time in that rec room, so it's not quite as crazy as it sounds, I guess.

That's true, the best way will be to box them carefully. Or put into original packaging!

I was able to have the fabric store save some plastic bolt holders from bolts of lace. These are about 12 inches long and 8 inches wide. I just wroap the strings around them and store in a box that boots came in.

I use the plastic "donuts" (I don't know what they're called, just what they look like) that electricians roll extension cords up on. I bought them at Home Depot in the electrical department. You can roll three to four hundred lights on each one. It's great because it has a crank, so it doesn't take long to roll them up, especially if two people do it together.

I just cut a box in an "I" shape and wrap them around that.

Solar light is delightful way to decorate outdoors, it gives graceful looks.
