Here are a few creative solutions for organizing your ribbons.

How to stock the perfect gift wrapping station

Unsharpened Pencils & Erasers As Ribbon Storage

One of the most creative storage ideas for ribbons is using unsharpened pencils and erasers! This idea is actually genius and uses items most people already have around the house. Then, you can easily put the spools of ribbon in a drawer or box.

Gift Wrapping Tools – Tape and Scissors

After you organize all your gift wrap and accessories, it’s time to organize and stock all your tools. It is extremely frustrating to get all ready to wrap your gifts, only to realize you are out of tape.

Keep your tools within hands-reach of your station. Use canisters or clear drawers to hold your gift wrapping tools so you can see when they are missing or need replenished.

Gift Bags & Tissue Paper

Recycling and reusing gift bags saves you money and helps cut down on waste. Organize your gift bags by type and size so they are easy to find when you need them.

Tissue paper can be reused as well, but be careful when opening your gifts so you don’t crumple the paper and make it look too used. Then you can organized your tissue paper by color.

A beautiful solution is to hang up tissue paper on hangers so you can see the colors and grab the ones you need quickly.

Don’t Forget the Cards

The final touch for every gift is the card. Blank cards are the easiest idea because you can use them all year long. Organize cards by season, holiday, and for whom they are directed.

Keep the cards in a box with dividers so you can grab them quickly and see when they need replaced.

Bows
