I purchased these decorative twists to attach our garland to the banister during Christmas in July on QVC this past year. I was tired of using dental floss because it is so difficult to hold the garland in place, tie off the floss, and keep everything in place at the same time. I love them! I actually used them to hang our stockings too this year. They were really easy to use!
And I digress... do you put away Christmas items and then the following year have no idea where you stored them? GOOD! Me too! I hate that... I am notorious for storing items and then forgetting where I put them all the time! I often times wonder if I am losing my mind or heading to assisted living any day now... This year, I am trying to make storing items easier for me so I can prevent my loss of sanity a little longer any way.
Here are a few more pictures of the twists.
I decided to store the twists inside the stockings so I know where to find them for next year. I always hang our garland here and the stockings found their home on the banister last Christmas. I really like them on the banister so all of these items will be stored together. Next year I will not have to wonder where the twists are since they will be inside the stockings! No more thinking I have lost my mind at least where this is concerned. The garland, stockings, and twists will all be in under the bed storage boxes. I have found these are best for storing garland, this allows for them to have the most room, while being contained, and also keeping their fluff until next year. I am thankful for our walk in attic, lots of storage there.
