As an alternative, you could also use the cardboard tube from a paper towel roll for this method. The steps will be the same, except you won’t be placing a lid on the cardboard tube.

If your hanger doesn’t have hooks, you can just tie the end to the body of the hanger.

If there isn’t enough room or your hanger doesn’t have hooks, just tuck the end in between the strands of lights.

If storing with other items, make sure to wrap the hanger in tissue paper for protection.
