Think a dedicated gift wrap

ping space is a large-house

luxury? Think again. This

sturdy over-door rack is

designed to store cans and

boxes in a pantry, but it's

perfect for keeping ribbons

and papers, too.

Keep gift tags in clear,

lidded jars so you can

see what you have.

Line up spools of rib-

bon on a shelf. Just

unroll the length you

need and snip.

Keep often-used tools

like scissors and tape

in the middle of the

rack so they’re easy

to reach. Limit each

container to one kind

of item so it’s easy to

find what you need.

Drape tissue paper

over the bar of a shelf

to keep it unrumpled.

Stand up roll wrap

in the bottom basket.

A heavy-duty rub-

ber band stretched

around the rack keeps

the rolls upright.

File a few gift bags

and ready-to-assem

ble boxes in the

bottom basket. ■
