DIY: Gift Wrapping Station

December 13th, 2012

{Gift wrapping essentials, organized}

I’ve always fantasized about having an entire room dedicated solely to wrapping presents. It makes the act of gift giving so organized and enjoyable. Since I don’t have the space for a gift wrapping room (let alone closet), I followed the advice of an old Better Homes and Gardens article (here) and made a station on the back of my closet door. I bought this storage system and filled it with all of my essentials,* most of which I tucked into mason jars.

{Gift tags}

{Wrapping and tissue paper, boxes, and little bags}

{Colored twine, twist ties, butterfly accents}


{Side view – I keep both regular tape and double sided for easy accessibility}

{Sparkly toppers, ribbons, Sharpies, scissors, hole punch, ruler}


{Finished wrapping station}

*ribbon, twine, glitter tape, tape, double-sided tape, scissors, scalloped edge scissors, ruler, gift tags, boxes, paper bags, tissue paper, wrapping paper, bows, raffia, glitter.

Most items were bought at Cost Plus, Paper-Source, and Michael’s.

    You seem to have too much money and too much time on your hands. This is pretty ridiculous.

    That is such a fabulous idea! I might be doing this at home because I hate when all of my gift wrapping stuff is such a mess.

    Oh my gosh; this is a thing of beauty! Love the use of clear jars so you can see where everything is. I love gift wrapping but all my stash is hidden away on various shelves in our home!

    Dear Emily, i read your blog almost everyday. you can cook, you’re fashionable, and so crafty too! I really love this gift wrap station you built on the back of the door, really genius idea. It seems to be very easy to access especially if you’re a “out of sight, out of mind” sort of a person. Great work.
