A slim artificial Christmas tree is an excellent alternative to the real one. You find them in different shapes, colors, styles, and sizes. Furthermore, the faux tree is nearly maintenance-free, and you can customize and reuse it yearly. Getting it into the original box or a storage bag is tedious as it will not fit anymore. Here are some steps to help.

Step One: Taking Your Tree Down

Start by removing all decorations and lights. Wrap your ornaments and lights safely to keep them protected until next year. If you happen to have a pre-lit tree, disconnect all the wires. Next, take each tree section apart and take added care if you have a fiber optic Christmas tree. Once all the pieces are apart, pin the branches down while keeping firmness without using pressure. Doing this prevents damaging the joints or any of the connecting parts.

Step Two: Store Your Tree

Now, you must get your tree back into that box or a storage bag. You can do this in two ways. The first is using wrapped methods or an unwrapped way. For the wrapped technique, you can make your fabric bag using old sheets or a blanket.

Place each tree section into separate wrappings or covers until none of the branches stick out. You can use some twine around each wrapped part to keep it secure. Then place each section back into the bag or the original box.

You can get your tree back into the box if you do not use any wrapping material. Hold each section tight and settle the first piece into the box. You may find holding smaller pieces challenging, but keep it as secure as possible. Do this by stacking the other sections in as well. Once the tree is in the box, fold the flaps close.

Then take some packaging tape to keep the flaps closed, and do not forget about the stand.

Step Three: Storing Your Christmas Tree

Now that you have your tree secure in the box or bag and the decorations are neatly packed in containers, the final steps are to put it away until next year. An ideal storage place is a cupboard, the cellar, or the attic. Also, keep your tree away from moisture, pets, and heat to preserve its lifespan. The important thing is to keep your artificial Christmas tree looking great for any occasion.

Wrapping Things Up

With the magical effect of your slim artificial Christmas tree decorated with ornaments and lights taking it down does not need to be tedious. Following the above steps, you can fit your faux tree into the box or storage bag to preserve until next year. Still, if you prefer, you can keep that tree up all year to decorate for New Year, Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, Halloween, to Thanksgiving. Faux trees are versatile as you can decorate them for any occasion.
