How to store wrapping paper easily

I can’t wait to share this super easy way to store wrapping paper easily!

I was working on organizing my craft room today and trying to figure out a nice way to store all my wrapping paper.

Types of Wrapping

I have some for birthdays, clear wrap for food gifts or gift baskets,

I have rolls of fun paper that I use for table runners. Remember this fall tablescape where I used this rose paper table runner? This is one of my favorites.

And then…..

Of course I have loads of Christmas wrapping paper! Does anyone else out there just love all the super cute Christmas wrapping paper out there?

Where to store it?

So the questions was- Where can I put it so that it accessible when I need it but not take up space in my craft room? How can I organize so may tall tubular things?

One of my cute blogging friends Leslie over at My 100 Year old Home shared a simple idea of using waste baskets to hold her wrap. I decided to find one that would work for me.

I wanted a tall one because some of my wrapping paper is tall and I didn’t want the basket to fall over. So I hopped over to Target and found this awesome flexible laundry basket! It is light weight and holds a ton!

And best of all…..

It is only $7.98!! Hello! the problem has been solved for under $10! I am keeping the basket in the basement and then I will bring it up as I need to wrap. You can watch my video below about this awesome find!

My cute cozy long sweater is on sale for 50% off.

Organizing Help

I need more quick easy ideas on storing things in my craft room.

Where do you store fabric when you are not working on a project?

I have some paper crafting supplies, different sized paper, stickers, tags, paper cutters, funky edged scissors etc. Where do you keep things like that?

Then I have a Cricut machine and lots of different vinyls, cutting boards, odds and ends of supplies that go with that. Where do you keep those types of things?

I would love for you to share all your tips and tricks on how to save space in your craft room in the comments below.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Oh Karin, I am so frugal, I ask for the tall boxes the wrapping paper comes in at the store to store my wrapping paper !
    Not often but sometimes you can get one at the grocery store if you are there at the right moment.
    Love the sweater with a hood.

    • Annie,
      That is a smart idea! Recycling and organizing all in one. I love hearing ideas from everyone. Thank you for sharing.

      Hugs,
      Karin

  • Karin,

    I also attach the mesh laundry bags to the side of the laundry hamper with twist ties to hold tape, scissors, bow and ribbons. Works great and all is at your finger tips for wrapping needs.

    Love you blog and ideas!

    • Connie,
      That is such a great idea! I am going to do that. Then no searching for any of those supplies....Brilliant! I was thinking of adding S hooks to hang scissors, tape and maybe a few rolls of ribbon but I really like your idea for storing things the best. I love it when we share organizing tips.

      Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your idea.

      Hugs,
      Karin
