Organization - Wrapping Supplies

Are your wrapping supplies organized or at least put away neatly??

Mine are in bags, boxes, loose, mixed up.. basically a total mess!!
However, with a little work my mess is now organized!!! I’m soooo proud of myself.

Not too bad now is it??

This is what I started with:

What do you think? I told you it was a mess…

How I got organized:

Step 1:
I started by taking out everything and started two piles. One pile was a toss pile and the other was a keep pile.

Step 2:
Took out bins for the following:
- Bin for Bows
- Bin for Ribbons
- Bin for Cards
- Bin for Tissue Paper
- Bin for Wrapping Paper
- Bin for Christmas Stuff
- Bin for Gift Bags

Step 3:
I printed out labels to identify each bin.

I came across these beautiful labels by Domestifluff.com:

You can find them here.

I opened the *.pdf file in Photoshop and changed the color to black, then I typed in the words I wanted and voilà:

Step 4:

I cut them out and hot glued them onto the bins.

Step 5:
I started separating everything into the appropriate bins.

Tissue Paper

Ribbons

Bows

Cards

Wrapping Paper:

I took the time to tie each roll.

I placed the Christmas paper at the bottom.

And then I put the regular paper on top.

Did you notice the smaller rolls?

I cut a cardboard tube in smaller rolls and then wrapped my smaller (scrap) pieces around them.

Christmas Stuff

Final result:

I hope this inspired you to get your wrapping stuff organized.

P.S. I’ll be linking to these Parties.

Nicely done! Your organized wrapping station is awesome! I know how frustrating it is to have stuff jumbled together – great work. =)

Thanks so much for the inspiration. This made me think of my own studio space I moved into a few months ago (an extra bedroom). Everything was all organized into other parts of the house, but I never did find a good place for the wrapping paper. Need to get one of those large bins:-) Thanks.

i have got to put my christmas stuff away THIS weekend! You have inspired to just do it! Thanks for the visiting my blog and (virtually) kicking my behind :)
