I enjoyed the various golu displays in our Golu display competion. It was mindblowing.
Now that the golu is over how do we pack & preserve our dolls & decorations.
How do we label & store them so that we can easily find them
I hold two types of Dolls
1) Dolls made of Mud
2) Dolls made of Paper Mache

Apart from these we have also decorative items store, I have some plastic trees, plastic flowers, Ceramic pots
also decorative lights etc have to be .
Your ideas will help

Though I'm not an expert, I can share few things for wrapping the dolls... :idea

1) The trunk box is always better than card board box...
2) Wrap every doll in separate paper or cloth & then put it in the trunk box...
3) As mud dolls are heavy, put it in the bottom..
4) Don't forget to use naphthalene balls in the box... to avoid small insects..
5) Always better not to move the box after arranging the dolls...

If possible roll the face of the dolls in cotton so that the features like nose dont get distorted.Its better to wrap the dolls in cloth than in paper. If you are using cardboard box stick the opening of the box with brown tape so that they are secure when you lift them.
