One of the things I miss the most about my big old house was my separate craft room. I could walk in and easily grab any sort of craft or wrapping supply! Now I have to be a little bit more creative with my storage. I haven’t quite figured it all out yet but I’ve been really inspired by some images online!
Most of us really have a lot more space than we realize. We think we have to have a designated room but honestly, when I look around my house, a lot of space goes to waste. So even if you don’t have an entire craft room at your disposal, look for nooks and crannies or behind doors for places to store your supplies. I bet we could all find plenty of space for what we need.
So if you don’t have your wrapping supplies organized yet, start thinking about where you could put some gift wrap, ribbon and supplies! That way when it comes times to wrap, you’ll enjoy the process instead of cursing your roll of wrapping paper because it is stuck in a ripped up cardboard box under the bed.
You don’t have to have a big fancy craft room. You might just need to get a little creative.
What about:
A free standing cabinet
An unused closet
A back of the door rack
A peg board in a hall way
A wall rack in a little used bedroom
A laundry room
Where else?
It is also a great time to start looking around for fun bits and pieces of ribbon or things you can use to wrap presents. I’ll be doing some gift wrapping posts in the future to hopefully inspire us with ideas!
