Wrapping Paper Organization

[AmyBoz]

As I pack up down here, I just came across all of my wrapping paper. I have a wrapping paper organizer (rubbermaid box with a little shelf that lies on top) but it doesn't really stay closed if I need to stand it on end. Bottom line, it stinks.

Anyway, I'd like to be neater with it in the new house and thought I'd pick your brains on how you all organize your wrapping paper/gift bags/bows, etc. Pictures would be fabulous, but a detailed description will definitely do!

Nothing too creative here-- I have that same box you do (the tall one with the flip-open lid to store scissors & tape). It works OK for some rolls, but I'm not too crazy about it, either, since it doesn't hold jumbo rolls. My flat wrap and gift bags are in a box with a lid, and all my ribbon and bows are in a basket in the same closet. All of the above is stored in my craft closet.

I have a whole seperate box for Christmas wrap-- it's in the attic right now. It's one of those long, flat boxes that can hold the jumbo rolls and has trays inside for bows, tags, etc.


I've seen a hanging organizer that slips over a coat hanger and holds rolls, bows, and tape-- I wonder if that's any good? I probably have too much stuff to fit in it, though.
