Storing Christmas Tree Decorations in Popcorn Tins

Over time we have been gifted several themed popcorn tins. They have worked great for storing our Christmas tree decorations in. The one with angels on it, holds all our angel ornaments, while the one with snow covered homes stores all our special homemade ornaments. The one with Santa and his sleigh store all our Santa ornaments, while the one with the old classic cars on it stores all our sports themed ornaments.

My all time favorite has antique dolls on it and holds my mini doll ornaments. We have one with snowmen on it that holds all the Christmas coloring books and crayons for when our grandsons visit. These are then stored in rubber totes. After the tree is all decorated, we just set all the pretty tins around the room, for extra holiday beauty. Easy peasey when its time to pack them all away again.

The tins are also wonderful to store large amounts of flour and/or sugar in. I always put a white (unscented of course) garbage bag in first and then pour in the sugar etc. That way there is no chance of rusting inside.

I try to purchase items in large quantities if a better buy. There are only 2 of us but sugar, rice etc will keep a long time!
