Rein in those misbehaving rolls of gift wrap with this simple and inexpensive vertical wrapping paper storage idea.

I interrupt our regularly scheduled programing to bring you some uncharacteristically ugly photos. You might want to close one eye.

After photographing this DIY paper storage ideas overhaul and downloading the photos to my computer, I seriously contemplated not posting this tutorial at all.

It’s not so much that I’m worried you’ll judge me for the ugliness (I’m judging right there with you), it’s that I don’t want these photos of my mess and then my cleaned up mess inside a dark closet corrupting the other pretty DIY paper storage ideas that will live alongside this post.

Oh well, I’m over it. You know why? This vertical wrapping paper organization idea has been such simple and effective game changer for me that I just really want to show you how you can do it too. If that means we have to take a break from carefully honed DIY art and sweet crochet patterns for a sec, so be it.

So. Here is what my wrapping paper looked like before I decided to organize it.

Yikes. Can we just admit that the wrapping paper is honestly the least of my worries in this photo of my craft room? Luckily, I shot this before I started a huge home office overhaul and am happy to report that I no longer have 26 jars of button specimens littering my floor. Now they’re on a shelf. Ha.

It goes without saying that I needed some serious gift wrap storage help because the size of the tubes and the tippy-ness of my basket were obviously not working out.
