5-Minute Gift Wrap Organizer Ikea Hack

DIY gift wrap organizer in 5 minutes

Gift wrap organization is sorely lacking around here. To be completely honest, we’re lacking in almost EVERY kind of organization around here. BUT, thanks to a screw gun and a $2 plastic bag organizer from Ikea, we now have a small sliver of storage sanity in ONE small corner of the house.

And this DIY gift wrap organizer was SO inexpensive and easy, I’m actually throwing a few more in the closet, as well. One directly above this one, to be exact (*making sure to install it high enough so that getting the wrapping paper in and out of the bottom bin is still possible 😉

 

 

 

 

Want the DIY scoop? Below is the whole process in a one-minute video tutorial. And if you need a few more details, just read on!

how to install a wall-mounted gift wrap organizer:

 

1. Assemble plastic bag dispenser as directed.

It’s one step, friends. It snaps together. No muscle or brainpower required. And none of those annoying little Allen wrenches, either.

 

2. Drill hole for your drywall anchor.

If you’re attaching this to a wall made from drywall, determine the size anchor you want to use. If you’re not sure, a GREAT and inexpensive toolset to purchase is an anchor and bit set. (This one costs under $10, and has bits and anchors for drywall, masonry, AND wood).

3. Insert plastic anchors, and hammer into place.

You don’t need super heavy-duty anchors for this project. There won’t be a lot of weight hanging on these screws.

 

 

 

4. Insert a screw into an anchor and drive into place.

The screw just needs to be maybe 1/4″ out from the wall to allow your bag dispenser to sit on it.

 

5. Hang bag dispenser.

Just hang it right onto your screws.

 

6. Insert gift wrap. You’re done!

One of the Ikea Varieras will hold approximately 5 rolls of wrapping paper. So if you’re like us, you may need a couple 🙂
