DIY Gift Wrap Storage Cart

November 29, 2020 · In: Cricut Projects, DIY Projects, DIYs, Holiday Planning, Organize

Learn how to turn a regular three tier cart into a holiday gift wrap storage station using everything you already have at home.

One of the questions I get asked most during the holidays is “where do I store my gift wrap?” I wish there was a simple answer I could tell everyone, but it really depends on how much gift wrap you have/plan to use, how big or small your house is, where you wrap your gifts, and how much storage space you have.

So this year I came up with an idea that will work for literally anyone, no matter the size of your home or where you like to wrap gifts. And it uses an item you probably already have…a standard three tier cart. Here’s my quick and easy DIY Gift Wrap Storage Cart tutorial that costs almost nothing to make (and maybe won’t cost you anything at all!).

How To Make A Holiday Gift Wrap Storage Cart For Free (or almost free)

Repurpose A Three Tier Cart

Start by using any kind of rolling three tier cart you have on hand. I have these all over my house for random uses, so I grabbed the one that was holding the least important things.

Don’t worry about the misplaced items, you’ll only be using the cart for the time you’ll be storing gift wrap this December, so you can expect to put it back in it’s old spot after the holidays.

Use Containers To Divide The Shelves

You will be adding in a lot of different types of gift wrap supplies, so you’ll need some containers to keep them separated. You can use Tupperware containers, drawer organizers, or random containers you aren’t using anywhere else.

You can definitely buy containers for the shelves, but since you’re only using the gift wrap cart temporarily, I suggest just using something you’ve already got.

Give Each Shelf A Category

For my holiday gift wrap storage cart, I use the top shelf to hold holiday cards, pens, scissors, markers, tape, and my Cricut Joy (for making custom gift card holders).

The second shelf held my embellishments like ribbons, bows, gift tags, and other wrapping supplies. And the third shelf held boxes and tissue paper.

Hang Gift Bags

Add a Command hook on the sides of the cart to hold gift bags. If you don’t have any Command hooks and you don’t want to spend any money, you could use an S-Hook from your tool stash in the garage. It would work just as well.

Rig Up A Wrapping Paper Basket

For my cart, I used an over-the-door kitchen cabinet basket I got from Walmart. You can find these in the kitchen aisle where all the kitchen storage stuff is. I just hung the hooks onto the basket, then hung it right onto the back of the cart.

If you don’t want to buy a cabinet door basket, you could hang a sturdy tote bag from an S-hook off the back and put your gift wrap inside it instead.

Decorate Your Cart

If you have a Cricut machine, now is the time to break out the removable vinyl and label your shelves. By using removable vinyl, you can peel it off after the holidays so your cart can go back to it’s old job.

If you don’t have a Cricut, you can still deck out your cart in holiday cheer using a regular chalk pen. Doodle your labels and snowflakes, and when the holidays are over just wipe off the liquid chalk with a wet paper towel.

He met this four year old little dude who was sick on the couch clutching his Lightening McQueen car. Soon after, Noah told me in the car “Mommy let’s stay friends with him, ok?”
So we did. And here we are ten years later. Nothing makes my heart more full than seeing these two together.
…Except when they gang up on me for asking [dumb] questions about superheroes… 😅
Happy Father’s Day Nigel!
Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we a Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we are going there…
As exciting and freeing and calming it is to get a space cleaned up and organized, it’s also stressful and overwhelming and exhausting. Especially when you’re doing big projects.
After three weeks straight of working on my garage, I was reaching the point of burnout. I got behind on other things, I constantly felt like I wasn’t doing enough, and my to-do list kept getting longer.
If you’re feeling this way today, I want you to give yourself permission to do these two things:
1. Take a break. It is ok to pause a project and take some chill time. Log off of social media, stop looking at your list, and just recharge.
2. Remove things from your list. You might have planned a huge project, but after a while you start losing enthusiasm. At that point, let some plans go. Save them for later in the year, or maybe even never. Projects should be flexible, not set in stone.
What’s something on your to-do list you can let go of today to save you time and stress?
