That's a pretty good idea! I have mine in an under the bed storage box. If I have rolls of various sizes (diameter), I try to slide them inside each other to save space. I also try to buy solid red/silver to use double duty for either Christmas or birthdays/anniversary.

Our bed is so low that the only thing we can store there is a large, thin board that we use to wrap stuff on.

I love that idea, Jodi! I don't have the closet space (160-year-old house), but a garment bag would keep them protected in the barn or wherever. Thanks!

Eons ago when we lived in a 3 level townhouse, I wanted a place to store our luggage and Christmas decorations. Our entry level was an L shaped hallway with a door to the half basement, a door to the garage, the interior steps to the 1st floor, and a coat closet built into the wall under the stairs. I cut out the interior wall of the coat closet to gain access to the rest of the space under the stairs and it was perfect for storing luggage and boxes of holiday decorations. I hung a large decorative panel from the hardware store over the 4 feet tall hole in the drywall.

I just put about 20 rolls up in the attic balanced across the rafters!

Great idea, Jodi. I always have way to many rolls of paper. I think I will check out the under the bed container. This is how I store alot of my fabric.. If I could get my garage cleaned out maybe a garment bag would be the way to go.. Hmm,,

I will have to think about some good tips to pass along.

Two great ideas, Jodi. I like the idea of posting a tip of the day, and I also like your wrapping idea. I have mine in a plastic container now and some of the rolls are just a bit too long for the lid to close. Thanks!!

Bigbaby, the longer rolls didn't fit into the suit length garment bag but did fit in my formal dress length bag. Unfortunately that bag wasn't see-thru so I'm going to wait until I can get my hands on a clear one for the longer rolls.

Jodi-

Another idea is to save the empty roll of gift wrap or at least a few and slice one up the side then you can snap that around a being used roll so it doesn't unroll on you A Paper towel empty works good too /

The garment bag is a good idea, and much cheaper then those gift wrap plastic tubs.

Love your tip. Always looking for these good ideas.
I like your idea for the tip of the day also.

Your idea is great. I use one of those large plastic Rubbermaid containers for the rolls of gift wrap and I have room in my pantry. But a few years ago I finally realized that I just buy way too many rolls especially after Christmas when they're on sale. I like to wrap my presents and put them under the tree as part of the holiday decorations. So now I only buy solid color wrap and then decorate the packages with ribbons, ornaments and other little holiday decorations. I think it's a prettier look than the odd assortment of leftover paper that I always had. So now I've extended that principle to all my wrap- birthdays, anniversaries, weddings etc. I use an appropriate solid color and then get my thrills by using ornamental ribbons, silk flowers, ornate bows and other decorative items on the boxes.

I have an under the bed wrapping paper tote, which needs to be sorted out and the upright one. I got the under the bed one at a rummage sale and Cheryl gave the upright one to her Dad as he likes to wrap his presents. The garment bag is a good idea, but I would not have room in my closet for it. Oh the upright one is in his room right now as he is working on kids birthday gifts.

I think this tip of the day is an excellent idea and one I will look forward to! I also think your idea of the garment bag is great, you could hang it or store it anywhere. Maybe including a little bag with tape & scissors etc. would keep everything together nicely.
Thanks Jodi for two great idea :)

Brilliant! So many clever gift wrap storage ideas in one place.
Here's my idea: I recently decided to only use only one color paper or bag and one color embellishment. All my gifts, for any occasion, will have a signature look. I'm torn between white bags/paper or brown kraft bags/paper. Either of those 2 colors should always be available so I don't have to stock up, in the fear of running out of "my" color in the future. If I go with brown bags then I'll go with white embellishments. If I go with white bags I'll probaby go with red embellishments. Since I don't have any gift buying occasions coming up, I haven't started my new wrapping idea yet.

I'm really looking forward to the other tips.

If the trays that produce comes in are long enough, you could ask at the store, then store the rolls in them, then slip them under the bed.

You'd want to put an old sheet over the top to collect the dust.

The discount grocers put those trays and the cartons that food comes in, in several large boxes by the checkout so that folks can use them to pack their groceries.
