With the holiday season in full swing, finding room to store your gift-wrapping supplies can be a challenge, especially when your apartment is already packed with décor, ribbons, and other holiday essentials. But don't worry, we have some tips and tricks that will help you make the most of your limited space and keep your gift-wrapping supplies organized amidst all the holiday clutter.
Over-the-Door Gift Wrap Organizer
To keep your gift-wrapping paper organized, invest in an over-the-door gift-wrap organizer. This organizer can be purchased at any local craft store or online and can hold 2 to 6 rolls of paper. These organizers can take up space behind your closet door or coat closet instead of taking up floor space.
Use a Garment Bag
Another easy storage solution is using a garment bag and a hanger to store your paper rolls. You can pick up a garment bag at any store or online. Put all your paper inside then use a hanger to hang the garment bag in your closet. That way, it's not only a convenient way to store paper, but it takes up less space, especially if you hang it in the back of your closet.
Utilize the Storage Under your Bed
The best out-of-sight and convenient storage is placing your gift-wrapping paper and bags in a plastic storage container under your bed. When you buy a plastic container, be sure to buy one that’s long enough for rolls of wrapping paper, and you can even slip a smaller plastic container into the bigger one to store tape, tags, ribbon and twine.
Repurpose Household Items
You don't always have to go out and buy new storage solutions. Look around your house for items you can repurpose. For example, you could use an old wine rack to store rolls of wrapping paper or an old shoebox for smaller items like tags and bows.
Portable Gift Wrap Caddy
Opt for a portable caddy with compartments for tape, scissors, bows, and other small wrapping accessories. This allows you to carry your supplies to any room in the house or even bring them with you when wrapping gifts at someone else's home. Once you’re done using the caddy, you can easily store it under your bed with all of your supplies.
DIY PVC Pipe Storage
If you're into DIY projects, consider using PVC pipes. Cut them into lengths that can accommodate your rolls of gift-wrapping paper, then mount them to the wall or inside a closet. This can create a customized, space-saving storage solution.
By implementing these storage ideas, you can efficiently organize your gift-wrapping supplies and create a clutter-free environment, even in your apartment. This will enable you to enjoy a stress-free and enjoyable gift-wrapping experience during the holiday season.
