A great way to store your garland is to wrap it around a cardboard tube. You can use an empty paper towel roll or wrapping paper tube. Start by wrapping the garland around the tube, leaving about six inches of slack. Once you’ve wrapped it all the way around, tuck the end underneath the garland. To prevent the garland from slipping, you can tape it in place or tie it with a piece of ribbon or string. If you don’t have enough cardboard tubes, cut a piece of cardboard into a long, thin strip. Then, take your garland and wrap it around the cardboard strip like with the tubes. That’s it! When ready to use it, simply unwrap the garland from the cardboard and drape it over your mantel or banister. By taking a few minutes to store your garland correctly, you will save yourself a lot of time and frustration later on.
