Wrapping paper storage

I made this a couple of weekends ago to store some of our wrapping paper. I used a roll of ribbon from the dollar store, and stitched it by hand since I still have not uncovered my sewing machine (which is broken anyway). I did it while watching a movie so wasn't bad at all.

It would look nicer with a wood dowel at the top for hanging, but what I had on hand was a plastic pole thing from a stroller flag. David had some big hooks already, so it really only cost me the $1 for the ribbon.


I still have enough wrapping paper to need another one of these and plan on making it soon. I like it so far because I can see the paper easily, it's not laying around tripping me and it's not getting ripped up.

Yes, it's the craft/computer room. But looks more like a store room for boxes so far. I need some shelving. lol
