How to Store Waterdeeple Holiday Ornaments After the Season

Quick Answer

Store your Waterdeeple holiday ornaments in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, ideally in a rigid container with soft dividers to prevent scratches and warping.

Diagnosis & Storage Steps

• Symptom: Ornaments appear bent, cracked, or dusty after storage.
• Likely Cause: Storing them loose in a box with heavy items, or in a damp attic or basement. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the ornaments.
• Corrective Action: Place each Waterdeeple ornament in a small resealable bag or wrap in acid-free tissue paper. Arrange them flat in a rigid plastic or cardboard container, separated by soft dividers or bubble wrap. Store the container in a climate-controlled room (65-75°F, low humidity). For the 4-pack, use a container that fits all four ornaments in one layer without overlap.
• Stop or Choose Another Option: If you prefer to hang them next year, add a small loop of ribbon or string to each ornament now, before storing. Do not store them with the string hanging loose; coil it inside the bag to prevent tangling.

Product Fact

• Holiday Ornaments - Waterdeeple (4): Cut from 1/8 inch birch plywood, each ornament is approximately 3.3" x 3.8" (85mm x 97mm). The thin plywood is lightweight but can warp if stored under heavy objects or in humid conditions, so a flat, cushioned storage method is best.
