Gift Wrap Storage

With the holidays coming to a close, it wraps up (yes pun intended haha) the bulk of the gift wrapping season. Here is a very simple solution to organizing wrapping paper moving it out of the way and off the floor. It’s especially great for small spaces. Utilize the virtual space in your home, ie the walls to stow away the wrapping paper until it’s needed. Consider sorting the paper into categories such  as Christmas, birthdays, baby shower etc. Materials
