Are You Wrapped?

We’re coming down the stretch with only 6 days until Christmas. If wrapping presents is still on your list, get organized and follow these easy steps to make this year’s wrapping a jiff.

- Organize your gifts by recipient. This also helps to get an overview of things and maybe where you might need another stocking stuffer or two.
– Create a gift wrap station. Whether this be in the guest room, craft room or on the floor in front of the fireplace in your family room, designate a space to keep your wrapping gear.
- Next, organize your gift wrap, ribbon, gift tags, scissors, tape and pen or marker so that everything is at your fingertips. This year, I’m using our wire ball bin to store wrapping paper rolls.
- If you haven’t been able to wrap as you go, don’t stress. Try recruiting your husband or children for a evening of gift wrapping while watching a favorite holiday movie.

Creating Keepsakes Blog had a few of my favorite craft organizing ideas this year.
- Our multi-tiered pants hanger is perfect for holding ribbon spools.

- Turn and 80-pocket jewelry organizer to a craft organizer. Store everything from buttons (by color, of course) and rhinestones to floral embellishments in one place. Crafting is definitely more fun when you are organized.

Ready, set, wrap!

Happy Organizing!
