Someone had told me they used a plastic trash can to hold all their gift supplies. I did not have a trash can, however I had the laundry hamper that was in my master closet, now taking up space in the laundry room. So I took the top off (used a screw driver, to remove it). Then I sorted all the bags into "like" piles. Boy bags, Girl Bags, Baby bags, Valentine's Day bags, Christmas Bags, and regular Birthday bags. Then I put them into the hamper, and put the wrapping paper on the sides of the bags. I also folded my tissue paper with like colors, and made it a little less messy. And here is the end result!

Wrapping Paper, Tissue Paper and Gift Bags
Do you have a million gift bags like me? And tons of tissue paper, and wrapping paper for every gift possible?? I had two large bags filled with bags and tissue paper, then I had a box with wrapping paper and it was just a mess!
Look at how much space this was taking up! I had the paper in our upstairs closet and the bags were downstairs in the family room. Not very functional, if we needed to wrap/bag a gift in a hurry. I started looking around for new ideas on how to store these things. In my "dream" world I would have a craft room and have it look like it came out of a magazine...and well, for most that is not an option right now! I did not want to spend any money, but still wanted everything contained in one spot!

This looks so much better, and now it is all in one place. The best part is it cost $0, and it saved me from throwing this hamper in the trash! It is easy to pick up and take to another room, if I have a bunch of stuff that need fixed up. Or I can grab the one item I need if I only have one gift! Now is the perfect time to get your gift stuff organized, ready for Christmas! How do you store your wrapping supplies?
