Closet space is very limited at my house. We only have one small closet besides the bedroom closets. The last thing I want is for it to be stuffed with wrapping paper supplies (as it is now). However under the bed is free! It’s ok to put things under the bed if it’s organized and useful, right??? When deciding on the features for this gift wrap organizer, I wanted it to:
- Easy and helpful to use.
- Have a hard surface to wrap on – our bedrooms are carpet and it’s hard to wrap nicely on carpet.
- Organize plenty of rolls or wrapping paper.
- Fit different sizes of wrapping paper.
- Have a place for tape, scissors, bows, ribbon, etc.
- Roll – everything is better on wheels. The casters are optional though if your bed is really low, you could just add felt sliders or something.
I’m excited how it turned out and it’s just in time for the holidays.
It’s sleek and fits easily under the bed. (It can be pushed further back so it’s not well seen, but that wouldn’t make a good picture 🙂 ).
Slide the rolling gift wrap organizer out and flip the top open to add all of your supplies.
Add all of your pretty gift wrap supplies to be stored. I’m thinking of adding bungees or a pocket to the lid to store tissue paper.
The hinges leave a small gap in the back to run your wrapping paper thru, so when you’re wrapping presents you can have a continuous feed of paper without opening and closing the organizer.
Now you’re set to get wrapping presents!
See how it works and how it is made!

Happy Organized Wrapping!
This project uses about 2/3rds of a sheet of 3/4″ plywood, leaving a perfect amount to build yourself a tool organizer!
This building plan was sponsored by Buildsomething.com, all opinions and ideas are 100% my own.
This is genius!!! Love the idea.
Actually, how much do you could make me one?
Can I have the plans emailed to me? This is wonderful. I want to make more than one for me.
I LOVE the gift wrap organizer and the gift wrap ideas!! Where can I find the sheer netting that you used to wrap around the gift box and make the bow?
It’s called Tulle, I got it at the craft store. Wal-mart sells a limited amount of it too.
You should sell this!
I can see this hung on a wall and the lid (with some support added) your wrapping surface
Yes, that’s a great idea!
I would love it if someone made one of these ..how much would you charge???m??
What would you charge to make me one?
Can I get the plans emailed to me.
Such great ideas!!!
I would store it on end – put wheels on that end – put felt protectors on underside and set on table or counter to use – bad knees prevent me from using it on the floor.
I would like be one butt can not make it myself. Do you. Sell them?
This is brilliant!!
Wheels bolted to the sides would make the box about 2-1/2″ deeper. If a need for swiveling casters was felt, they could be on side mounted “wings”.
Excellent idea!
