Step 7: Wrap It Up - Wrapping Paper & Supplies
When it’s time to wrap gifts, the process will go so much faster if you can find your wrapping paper and supplies all in one place. There are many different products on the market today to help you organize your wrapping supplies. For example, Rubbermaid and Sterilite both make plastic bins designed to hold rolls of wrapping paper. Some of these bins even feature separate compartments to hold ribbons and bows, too.
Another option is to create your own Wrapping Supply Hamper out of a tall clothes hamper, like this:
 
If you are fortunate enough to have plenty of space in your home, AND if you wrap many different gifts throughout the year, you might want to consider setting up a wrapping station in your home. An old desk can easily be transformed into your own wrapping station. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:
Use a horizontal paper towel holder to hang spools of ribbons for easy access
If you have a lot of bows, buy a set of storage drawers, like the ones shown in the picture, and then separate your bows by color
Put rolls of wrapping paper on end in a tall laundry hamper or other bin beside the desk
Keep other wrapping supplies such as scissors, ribbon crimping tools, cards, tape, and glue close by in a basket or small bin on top of the desk
If you don’t have enough space in your home to set up a permanent wrapping station, consider a “mobile” wrapping station that can be pulled out when needed and easily stored away in a closet when note in use. The Wrap Keeper is an all-in-one unit that will help you create your own mobile wrapping station. This zippered bag with handles will store up to 16 rolls of 40” wrapping paper, and has plenty of extra room for ribbons, scissors, tape, and other supplies.
