Why Do You Need A Wrapping Station?
A wrapping station is a great place to keep all your gift wrapping supplies in one convenient place. Then whenever you have some spare minutes, it’s a simple thing to grab some gifts, take to your Christmas wrapping station, and wrap them. There’s no lost minutes spent searching the house to find the tape or the Christmas gift tags, or even a pen!
Supplies Needed
Your wrapping station may look a bit different from someone else’s depending on how you like to wrap gifts, but every gift wrapping station needs some basic supplies.
- Wrapping paper
- Clear gift wrapping tape
- Tissue paper
- Gift bags
- Scissors
- Ribbons in assorted colors and types, including wired ribbon and curling ribbon
- Gift tags
- Pens and/or markers for labeling tags
- Other gift embellishments you like
How To Set Up Your Christmas Wrapping Station
Decide on a convenient space for your wrapping station. This may be inside a storage room, or in the garage or a craft room. Wherever you have a little space works as a gift wrapping station.
- Your spot may already have a table or spot for wrapping. If not, set up a simple card table as the base of your wrapping station.
- Use shelves on the wall to hold all your gift wrapping essentials within easy reach.
- If you have the space, hang some pegboard to organize your wrapping supplies.
- Tall laundry baskets are great for corralling numerous rolls of wrapping paper.
- Use a paper towel holder to hold an entire stack of rolls of grosgrain ribbons.
If space for a stationary gift wrapping station isn’t available, set up a portable gift wrapping station!
- Use a plastic caddy {such as a cleaning caddy} that easily goes from one place to another.
- Stock it with the tape, scissors, ribbons, bows and tags you need for wrapping gifts. Don’t forget the pen for labeling gifts.
- Stash rolls of wrapping paper in a tall plastic laundry basket, and that can be moved as needed without too much trouble.
