Organized Wrapping Paper Station Transformation

I was looking for a wrapping paper station for over-the-door recently and found this one. Reader Space: Great Gift Wrap Organization! from IHeart Organizing

This was a great starting point. However, I needed to add more wrapping paper station items, like envelopes and greeting cards and scissors and tape. So I created my own. Here is what I did.

I went to The Container Store online and ordered the parts for this organizing project. The site above also listed the products I needed. Then I added one more of the large bin “elfa Narrow Deep Basket Platinum” to use for greeting cards and envelopes. I picked platinum color instead of white. I liked it better for an office.

Items Needed To Create An Over-the-door Gift Wrapping Station

1 – elfa Residential Overdoor Hooks Platinum Set of 2 1-3/8″

3 – elfa Deep Basket Platinum 17-1/8″ x 5-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ h

1 – elfa Shallow Basket Platinum 17-1/8″ x 4″ x 2-7/8″ h

1 – elfa Spice Rack Basket Platinum 17-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ x 2-3/4″ h

1 – elfa Media Rack Platinum 17-1/8″ x 6-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ h

1 – elfa 77-3/4″ Mounted Standard Platinum

COST: $105.00 (including tax and shipping)

Then, when everything came in, I went to town on assembling it. I was so excited that I didn’t need to mount anything to the actual door, except the top and bottom of the frame. This way, it would not damage the door.

Before: This is the closet door in my office. I wanted to place it here since it was unused space in my small office.

I added the hooks and bar.

Then added the baskets and started from the bottom.

I added the items I had to make sure everything fit properly as I was going along. Started with the largest items first.

The end result looked like this. Starting from the top.

Ribbons and tape bin are in the first bin.
Then tissue paper in a gift bag that was narrow enough for the bin and scissors are in the second bin.
The third bin was for the greeting cards, and the last bin was for wrapping paper rolls.

Then, I went to town with the details. I picked one of my many shelf adhesive liners.

Then, I covered the tissue paper gift bag I re-purposed into a tissue paper holder.

The final product.

I had event tabs for my greeting cards organizer already. I used the front two tabs and covered them with Used Self-Adhesive Shelf Liner paper to make them uniform with the tissue paper holder. Here is a Greeting Cards tabs template for you to use and share.

Here is the before picture of the greeting card bin.

I made little cuts around the curve to keep the shape of the divider tabs.

I then used chalkboard labels and liquid chalk marker to label the greeting cards bin.

Here is the finished product. I decided to organize the greeting cards in ABC order by the event so I divided the greeting cards events into two piles. In the middle to divide the piles, I used computer envelopes because we use them when we send out customized thank you or invitation cards.

I then labeled the rest of the bins since I am not the only one using this station.
