How to Store Gift Bows<\/h4>\n

Storing gift bows is relatively easy.\u00a0 For this project, we chose to reuse two deep boxes from a clothing store.<\/p>\n

Next, we sorted the bows by color.\u00a0 Holiday colors including red, green, gold and silver were placed in one box, and labeled on the outside.\u00a0 The second box contains all of the other colors of bows: blue, teal, purple and white.\u00a0 Here’s a picture of the outside of the boxes:<\/p>\n

The inside of the bow boxes are even prettier:<\/p>\n

Placing the bows in a box ensures they will not get squished or flattened.\u00a0 Two deep boxes were plenty for storage.\u00a0 It kept us from saving every last bow, yet provided enough bows on hand for birthdays, holidays and special occasions.<\/p>\n

How to Store Gift Wrapping Paper<\/h4>\n

Two large wrapping paper bins were in order for this project.\u00a0 One stores our holiday rolls of paper and gift bags.\u00a0 The second one has gift bags and wrapping paper for all of the other occasions: birthday, anniversary, new baby, Valentine’s Day etc.<\/p>\n

Sterilite\u00a0makes a great 41 quart under the bed storage unit.\u00a0 It’s better to buy one at the store, like Walmart or Target.\u00a0 They offer them on-line, but tend to sell them in packages of 6 or 10.\u00a0 That’s why the price seems higher on-line.<\/p>\n

What’s inside the bin?\u00a0 All the supplies for wrapping a gift:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
