  Mount Command Hook Brackets

  Store Wrapping Paper on Dowels

  Utilize a Pegboard

  

  A pegboard offers flexibility and provides a creative way to maximize wall space not just in a garage, but also in a craft or sewing room. Attach a series of hooks on the pegboard one on top of the other to hold wrapping paper rolls above your workspace. This will keep rolls easy to access, they'll double as colorful displays, and your worktop will be clear and clutter-free.

  Go for Built-In Storage

  

  For a more permanent way to store gift wrap, incorporate built-in shelves and cabinets in your craft room. Add wooden dowels of varying lengths to hold rolls of wrapping paper and spools of ribbon. This will give them a designated space and keep rolls off the floor. It will allow you to see exactly what type of paper you have on hand, plus you can cut a piece off directly without having to remove the whole roll.

  Add Side Storage to a Rolling Cart

  

  Many rolling carts have the option of adding basket attachments to the sides to expand storage. This is a great option for tall rolls of wrapping paper that don't fit inside the cart's drawers.

  Use a Wrapping Paper Cutter

  Hang Wrapping Paper Sheets

  

  When storing wrapping paper sheets as opposed to rolls, use a wooden rack that can accommodate the length of the sheets. This way, you don't have to roll or fold them, keeping them pristine and easy to pull out for cutting.
