Forgo an expensive, compartmentalized ornament box by stashing round ornaments in plastic apple containers. Blogger Laura Russell of Make Life Lovely says they take up less space than the ornaments' original boxes and are a great way to reuse plastic that otherwise gets tossed.

Tiny round ornaments fit perfectly in reusable egg cartons. With this clever idea, you can save your cartons from the trash and prevent your precious ornaments from breaking.

Don't toss those beverage trays from your next coffee or fast food run. They make great homes for fragile ornaments, and since they’re meant for carrying, they’re also very handy when decorating the tree.

Cut cardboard to fit inside the bin, glue on plastic cups, drop ornaments into cups and voila! An inexpensive and clever ornament solution.
