How to store wrapping paper
I don’t have a big closet, craft room, or spare bedroom to store my gift wrapping supplies. Most of it has all ended up in the laundry room. I have a bin for gift bags, bows, curling ribbon, etc. And at one point I purchased one of the stand-up wrapping paper containers. That worked for most things, but every now & then I’d end up with an enormously big roll of paper … longer than the container.
I love it when my husband gets on cleaning spurts. He’s so much better at organizing than I am. He’s not good at keeping things organized, but he definitely knows how to get it started.
So, I know this won’t work if you don’t have this kind of shelving system, but if you do … you can thank my husband for this little tip:

He is a genius!! Thanks for sharing this idea. I have five rolls of wrapping paper I picked up after Christmas that I stuck under our bed because they were too long for the drawer I normally keep wrapping paper in. Since we have those wire shelves (not my favorite, but oh well), I’m going to go find a closet!! Thanks again!

Ugh, I know … they’re not my favorite either, but now I at least feel like we’re using that wasted space:)

Great idea! I have similar shelves in my house too…and I have a wrapping storage container but it’s not big enough for my taller wrapping paper. Thanks for sharing and thanks to your friend!!

Great idea! I might have to jump up and move my wrapping paper in to above my washing machine right now! LOL

Fantastic! Hey, I’m all about using every inch of storage in your house! Negates the need for a bigger house. Guess that’s why we can live in 740 square feet comfortably

Very neat idea!!
So, I recognize that highchair/booster on the shelf. How did you like it? We are using the same one (different colors though) for our 6 month old son and I LOVE it!

That is so smart! It’s totally worth buying that type of shelf just to do that. It seems like I always have those huge rolls of wrapping paper that simply will not fit in those wrapping paper bins.
