The Scary UnOrganized Before

So here’s how our collection of wrapping paper and other gift wrap supplies looked before this organization project.

Can you say “hot mess”??

Yikes, indeed.

Gift Wrap Organizer Cart for wrapping paper supplies - the unorganized before.

When we moved a few years ago, everything gift wrap-related was literally shoved into our guest room’s closet, and more supplies have been periodically added to it (thank you, Target clearance!).

Our organization “method” consisted of tossing the new stuff on top and crossing your fingers that you could close/open the closet doors without triggering an avalanche.

Our previous storage container for rolls of wrapping paper worked for a while, but it’s too short for the longer rolls, so those were just ditched to the side.

Also, gift bags, boxes, bows, and labels (all in there somewhere) managed to get lost or crushed in the abyss.

No bueno.

And oh! That poor, poor tissue paper.

My sincerest apologizes, colorful, crinkly friends.

You have no idea how much this pained my organization-loving soul.

I’ve been dreaming of getting this gift wrap cart for literally YEARS, and this January I snagged one after finally having enough with our closet catastrophe.

Psssst…don’t forget to snag your free cash back offer before shopping for one of your own!

Wrapping Paper Organization Supplies

Here are all the details on our gift wrap organizer, as well as what I used to craft these colorful DIY drawer labels.

They were SO easy to make.

Making the DIY Gift Wrap Organizer Labels

If you’re following me on Instagram (thanks!), you might’ve seen that I was surprised with a new Cricut Maker for Christmas.

Well, it’s still in the box (new technology is so intimidating!), so I used my trusty old Silhouette Cameo to cut out the words on these labels in vinyl.

I pulled some colored sheets out of my vinyl organizer as well as a small leftover piece of white out of my vinyl scrap organizer then got to creating my designs.

Here’s how my label mockups looked in Silhouette Studio…easy to read and colorful!

And if you’re interested in the font that I used, you can find it here.

Here are the cut settings I used when cutting out the words in white vinyl (my blade is very well-loved so that’s why it’s set to 5):

Once the words were cut, I weeded them with my craft tweezers

…then cut out rectangles in five different colors of vinyl to serve as the label backgrounds.

You could also of course just used construction or scrapbook paper as well.

Once the rectangles were ready, I applied the words one at a time using a strip of washi tape.

After popping them inside their clip-on holders and snapping them shut, the labels were ready to go!

Here they all are in their lovely, colorful, labeled glory.

And yes, I did let out a little chuckle as I applied the “LABELS” decal…I mean, it’s a label for labels. 

It’s kinda like labeling your label maker with a “Label Maker” label you made with that label maker. ツ

Now if my husband comes asking where the Christmas gift labels are this December, he’s getting a shoe thrown at his head.

Just kidding.

I’ll aim for his shin. ;)
