Three Simple Ways to Organize Lights
Any size light bulb
Organize your household lights using an all-in-one container found at a local hardware or department store. You can create a do-it-yourself light bulb storage container by using a simple storage container and foam, or placing the light-bulb boxes in a utility drawer labeled "light bulbs". This will protect a variety of light bulb sizes in your household and make locating a new bulb a cinch.

If you keep long lights on hand, a great way to stash them away is by using a mailing tube that can be found at a local office supplies store. Mailing tubes vary in size so double check the labels for right length.
Holiday lights
It was a jolly holiday season, but now it’s time to put away the decorations, including those strands of lights sitting in your garage in a jumbled mess. Use a palate of sturdy cardboard to help reel in the decorations, making a 1” cut near the top and bottom to secure the strands. Store them together in a box to make it easier for the next holiday go-around.
