Kids absolutely love a party and dressing up, but what we don’t realise until it’s too late is how much space is actually required to store tutus and superhero masks. Too often party decorations get lost and we just keep purchasing more even though they’re probably hiding in the back of the garage. Here are a few hacks to help store your child’s costumes and decorations.
Make space in the wardrobe
Consider the dress up clothes as part of the wardrobe collection and leave hanging space. If the costume is suitable to be folded, reserve a drawer for it. If it’s too hard to incorporate the clothes and the costumes, consider using a portable rack.
Categorise the costumes
Hiring a box from a company such as Hire-a-Box is an efficient way to store costumes and decorations. Categorising the costumes from superhero to princess to animal will also make it easier to identify them when they’re needed.
Vacuum seal the fiddly costumes
Some costumes have more accessories than others and you may have some that have bits and pieces that can easily get lost. Fold the costume and group the little accessories into a little bag. Put all the items into a vacuum seal bag to minimise the size and keep everything together.
Store balloons in zip lock bags
Keep your balloons in zip lock bags, away from extreme temperatures and sunlight to avoid popping too many of them when it’s time to use them. You can tap a small amount of talcum powder into the bag to stop the balloons from sticking. If you colour coordinate the balloons, it becomes an added bonus.
Use a mini craft drawer unit to store your decorations
One drawer for balloons, one drawer for streamers… you get the idea! There may even be space for birthday cards, wrapping paper and confetti.
