Easy Ways to Organize Holiday Gift Wrapping Supplies
Gift wrapping supplies bucket
You can easily make your very own gift wrapping supplies bucket. All you would need is a bucket, a gardening bucket caddy and a telescoping tension rod. Attach the caddy to the bucket using Velcro fasteners, put the ribbons on the tension rod and place the wrapping paper. Ready. To keep the wrapping papers from unwinding you can use some rubber bands.

Use Everyday Items to Store your Gift Supplies
Use skirt or pants hangers to clip on wrapping papers or gift bags. Use a shoe organizer to store ribbons, scissors and all other supplies for gift wrapping. You can also choose from a great variety of gift supply organizers available in stores. Some you can store under the bed and others are for hanging in a cabinet or a door. They are a great solution since they have different sized pockets and compartments to hold all your supplies.
Other items to use for ribbon storage are paper towel or toilet paper holders. Tension rods are also great. An ideal place to keep scraps of ribbons and other small decoration items are clear jars.

To store your wrapping paper rolls use wire racks that you have placed behind or over a door. The good thing is that they don’t need much space and you use some space that otherwise would get lost, too.
Also worth mentioning are old wine racks. They are just the perfect thing to keep your wrapping papers nicely organized. Towel bars, curtain rods or tension rods are also a clever way to hang neatly paper or ribbons.

Make the Best Out of an Empty Cabinet
If you have an empty cabinet in your kitchen or an unused bookcase, than you have the ideal solution for storing all your supplies. With a few tension or curtain rods you can create a great gift wrapping storage to hide away all the wrapping items. Also, think about using a pegboard to hang items from an S hook.
