Find out more about the packing boxes and materials you might need when you move house and how to choose the best ones for each item.
Instructions
- Start by placing your ornament on top of your packing paper.
- Taking your tissue paper, carefully wrap around the ornament making sure to cover any particularly delicate parts well.
- Once you’re happy that everything has been covered, lay the ornament down flat on top of your packing paper.
- Take a couple of sheets and roll the ornament, tucking the paper as you go to ensure it’s tightly wrapped.
- Tape down if necessary.
- Clearly label the box you’re packing your ornaments into as ‘fragile’ and give details as to what’s inside to make it easier for the crew to load and also for you to begin unpacking once you reach your new home.
