Today I won the battle with my large collection of wrapping paper and ribbon. My New Year's resolution for 2012 was to organize our office, specifically all of the wrapping paper and craft items I have. I turned to Pinterest for ideas, and came across this idea that uses behind the door for storage. As easy as her design was, it didn't hold enough wrapping paper for me, so I drew my own design. It just took a few hours to make, and can easily be made if you have a hand saw or circular saw. First I took inventory of all of my wrapping paper and ribbons to figure out how many dowels I would need to store all of my stuff. I had 21 rolls of paper (yeah, you can call me a wrapping paper hoarder), and enough ribbon to fill a couple of dowels. I had decided to make two of these since I had the space in our office, but these instructions are just for one, using 14 dowels. |
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love that! Thanks for posting how you did it and your thought process -- that makes it easier foe me to actually do this!
ReplyDeleteSo clever! I would like to do this inside one of my closets... yours looks so nice.
ReplyDeleteI am IN LOVE with this idea and may have to do something like this in my own home office! Wow...
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Just saw this on Pinterest and I must say, "You're a Genius"!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent idea!! Going to try to use it or something like it in my craft room I'm desperately trying to organize :-) I can beat your 21 rolls, though. LOL I have 23! So I can relate!! I LOVE wrapping paper! :-D
