Many people collect ornaments that are highly valued for their worth or for their sentimental value. Ornaments need to be taken care of to ensure that they will continually bring enjoyment year after year.

If you have a treasured favorite and are wary of placing it on a tree, you may want to showcase it in a glass case. These are wonderful ways to display and protect your ornaments at the same time. Once displayed in your glass case, you may decide to keep them on display year round.

If you do decide to store them, you will need to take special precautions to protect your ornaments from the damaging effects of moisture, light and heat.
- To protect from moisture, store them upside down, so if there is any condensation, it will evaporate.
- To protect them from heat, store them in a cool place. Items such as candles can melt if stored in attics, so bear this in mind.
- And do not store ornaments where they will receive direct sunlight.
There are many wonderful storage products that will help ensure the longevity of your ornaments. Always make sure that any storage case you purchase is lined with acid free paper. You may also purchase a single storage case for storing individual ornaments as well.
__________________________________________________________
Never place fragile ornaments underneath heavy boxes. Always store them on top or separately. By investing in precaution and care, you will continually enjoy your ornaments for many years to come.
