Ideas For Wrapping Paper Storage – Clean up the wrong rolls of gift wrap with this simple and inexpensive vertical wrapping paper storage idea you can DIY in minutes.

I have many organizational challenges to tackle in my home. So to solve how to store wrapping paper upright, I needed a simple and cheap solution. This is not the time to blow $150 on some Alfa gift wrap baskets at the Container Store.

Ideas For Wrapping Paper Storage

I don’t want a storage rack that can hold tissue paper, bows, gift bags and ribbon. It’s just not a high priority.

15 Best Wrapping Paper Storage Ideas

It’s the ideal storage solution whether you organize your home room by room or if, like me, you just need to squeeze a vertical gift wrap storage solution into a random corner of your home.

The easiest way to store wrapping paper is efficient use of vertical space, so you can store a small amount of wrapping paper in a small area of your home or basement.

You’ll love this easy solution if you don’t have a lot of room to store gift wrap, or just want to use your wall for extra storage. I built this wrapping paper storage station behind the door in my daughter’s craft-studio-turned-room. The doors can still be opened almost fully and all our gift wrapping can be seen until the next special event.

Yikes. Can we just admit that wrapping paper is the least of my worries in this photo of my craft room? Luckily, I shot this before I started a major home office overhaul and am happy to report that I no longer have 26 jars of button specimens littering my floor. Now they are on the shelves. Huh.

8 Easy Wrapping Paper Storage Ideas

It goes without saying that I need some serious gift wrap storage help because the tube size and tippiness of my basket obviously isn’t working. I thought of using curtain rods, door racks with clear bags, hooks, dresser drawers and wire baskets. I ultimately decided against each of these solutions though for two reasons:

1. I only have a small room so I don’t want to use valuable floor real estate.

Enter the Warrior from IKEA. For a few dollars each, these little plastic wonders can reign in the gift wrap apocalypse to make your little pipe warrior stand out.

Variera is meant to store plastic bags, but I think a better alternative is to use it for tall and thin (and annoying) things like long rolls of wrapping paper.

I’m interrupting our regularly scheduled program to bring you some unflattering photos. You may want to close one eye.

After photographing this DIY wrapping paper storage overhaul and downloading the photos to my computer, I seriously thought about not posting this tutorial.

Oh well, I’m more. You know what? This vertical wrapping paper organization idea is such a simple and effective game changer for me that I just wanted to show you how you can do it too. If that means we have to take a break from carefully honed DIY art and freecrochet patterns for a second, so be it.

While you don’t need tools to assemble the Valeria bag dispenser, you do need a drill to mount it to your wall. This article contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you.

1. The space between the two holes to hang the valeria is 3.75″. So this is how far apart your screws should be on the wall. From each screw to the outside of the container is a little less than 1.5″.

(This part is key. I left it at first and set all the closing screws to actually fit the containers next to each other. OK, it’s a closet because now there is a new “ventilation system”.)

2. Use your ruler and level to mark the place where you will put your screws. As mentioned above, leave at least 3-3.5″ between each set of two screws.

2. Use your ruler and level to mark the place where you will put your screws. As mentioned above, give yourself at least 3-3.5″ between each set of two screws.

5. Hang your valeria and nestle your wrapping paper rolls, dowels or other tall, skinny and unruly craft supplies inside.

(Did I say it’s hard to take photos in a small, dark closet? Well, it’s even harder when your three-year-old wants to be in the closet with you.)

However, it should be noted that each wall-mounted Valeria container holds about seven regular-sized tubes of wrapping paper. Not bad for $4.99 a piece of plastic from IKEA, huh?!

For years and years, I have kept our collection of gift wrap rolls in our vacuum cleaner box. Not true, I have! However, the box has started to fall apart, so I decided I needed something other than wrapping paper. More specifically, the storage of vertical wrapping paper.

Plus, I’ve always had one complaint – I can’t see my gift wrapping options unless I dump them all out! Additionally, I converted a few items to store my craft tape that I also use for gift wrapping.

Anyway, I hit the thrift store and found the perfect upcycle thing for storing wrapping paper: a natural wooden counter stool.

Even better? Part of the chair has broken off which makes it uncomfortable to sit on. So, a complete repurpose is definitely in order.

The first time I saw this upcycling idea for vertical wrapping paper storage was a spread in the Flea Market Style Magazine. Like blogging about 2 little hooligans. It was absolutely genius and I had to try my version.

I found the perfect wooden counter stool at my local Habitat Restore. Clear, blonde, and partially broken – which makes it a primo candidate for an upcycling project.

The missing piece of the chair (how did that happen?) doesn’t phase me. And in true Sadie style, I painted it to seal in its old life and bring out the color.

A splash of turquoise works wonders! Don’t look too closely, though – I barely have enough paint to finish the job.

Now, I could have stopped there, I think. But I also want to make storage bags for my vertical wrapping paper storage project!

Santa brought me a sewing machine for Christmas – hooray! So I was able to save a few bags for my gift wrapping organizer basket.

I used some cheerful pillowcases I had in my linen pile to make different storage bags to hang over my bench.

First, I turned the vintage pillow case inside out and cut down the middle, lengthwise. Then I immediately stitched the cut side closed and turned them right-side out.

And that’s it! The wrapping paper holder stands from a piece of thrift store furniture. How awesome is that?

But it allows me to recycle a 6 year old Dyson box… and I can see my wrapping paper without a flashlight or mess!
