Turn a corner of your home into a tidy gift wrapping station using a MeshWorks epoxy coated iron stacking bin. Learn step-by-step how to sort, store, and access your supplies.
Quick answer
To organize a gift wrapping station, use a MeshWorks epoxy coated iron stacking bin as your central storage hub. Sort supplies into clear categories, place the bin near your wrapping surface, and stack it with other bins to save space.
Why a MeshWorks bin works for gift wrapping
Gift wrapping supplies are often bulky and oddly shaped, making them hard to store in drawers or cabinets. The MeshWorks epoxy coated iron stacking bin offers an open, breathable design that lets you see what's inside at a glance, so you won't dig through piles of tissue paper to find the tape.
The epoxy coating protects the iron from rust and makes the bin easy to wipe clean, which is handy when you're handling adhesive and glitter. Its lightweight build means you can move it from a closet to a table whenever you need to wrap a gift.
Trade-off: open bins show clutter
One trade-off of an open bin is that it can look messy if you just toss everything in. To keep your wrapping station looking neat, use smaller containers inside the bin to group items. This way, the bin stays organized and you can still see what you have.
How to set up your gift wrapping station
- Choose a spot: Pick a flat surface near where you usually wrap gifts, like a desk or a table. Make sure there's enough room to lay out paper and cut ribbon. Check that the area is not in direct sunlight to prevent paper from fading.
- Sort your supplies: Group items into categories: wrapping paper (rolled or folded), ribbons and bows, tape and scissors, tags and pens. Use small boxes or bags inside the bin to keep these groups separate. If you have more than one bin, label each one for a specific category, such as 'paper' or 'ribbons'.
- Place the bin: Set the MeshWorks bin on the surface or on a shelf within arm's reach. If you have multiple bins, stack them using the protective bottom rim to keep them stable. Ensure the bin is not overloaded; heavy items should go at the bottom to prevent tipping.
- Arrange for easy access: Put frequently used items like tape and scissors in a small container at the top of the bin. Rolled paper can stand vertically in the bin if it's tall enough, or lie flat on top of other supplies. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of delicate ribbon spools to prevent crushing.
- Maintain the station: After each wrapping session, put supplies back in their designated spots. Wipe the bin occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and adhesive residue. Set a reminder to declutter the bin monthly and donate or discard unused supplies.
