Gift Wrapping Station

I, like a lot of you have been on an organizing kick this new year! This WAS my wrapping station....not very user friendly. I would have to take everything out of the box to find what I needed and it just got out of control because I never knew what I had, so I would just buy more....you know....just in case!

Then I received my February Edition of Better Homes. Got to page 79 and knew this was definitely doable and would work for me!!

I tore out the page and drove off to the store.

This is what I came home with. An over-the-door storage unit (usually for pantries), 2 glass jars with lids and 4 open clear containers.

When I saw there were screws for this project....I was not excited to say the least, but the assembly was very easy.

Simple linking system...even a caveman can do it!

I am ready to get organized!! I first, sorted my wrapping supplies in piles....tags, stickers, scissors, ribbon, bags, and rolls. I purged everything I didn't want or use. This is what I was left with...

After the storage unit was loaded with all my goodies, it was a bit wobbly. I found some adhesive squares in the bag of screws and put them on the areas that were unsturdy.

 Worked like a charm!

What do you know......screws left over on purpose!!



This is my finished project. It felt so good to get organized and I enjoyed putting it together. If you try this project, I know you will enjoy it too!
