The Genius Way A Tackle Box & Broom Handle Can Get Your Holiday Supplies Organized

Any holiday or event season can leave you with quite a lot of stuff to put away in its wake, particularly gift wrapping supplies for Christmas, wedding and graduation season, or a slew of birthdays and anniversaries. You can all too easily amass a huge number of rolls of wrapping papers, bows, ribbons, gift tags, and other accents that potentially take up valuable space in your closet, drawers, or holiday bins. While storage solutions for these items can be found from retail outlets, a great hack, shown off by YouTube's Do It On A Dime, may be closer and more price-friendly than you think. With a simple tackle box and a broom handle, you can create easy-to-access and well-organized storage for these items on the cheap.

This is a perfect way to keep everything together where you can easily find and access it next year. It can also be a great way to organize new stock you may pick up during after-holiday sales. Unlike more expensive storage containers designed for holiday gift wrap supplies from craft stores, tackle boxes and broomsticks can be purchased inexpensively from places like Dollar Tree, Walmart, and similar retailers. You may already have similar items in your home that you can repurpose for free. 

To use a tacklebox for your gift wrapping storage, just fill the various compartments with carefully sorted items like gift tags, bows, decorative accents, or ornaments. These boxes typically have larger compartments down below to hold tape, scissors, and other larger tools and supplies. Since the box is portable, transport it to wherever you are wrapping presents in your home. It can also be safely and compactly tucked away in storage until next year. You could even set up several tackle boxes in your craft room for different occasions like birthdays and other holidays that require their own varieties of gift accents. Or keep a small tacklebox in your car filled with last minute gift wrapping supplies.

For storing rolls of ribbon, use a broom handle, sliding them along the length of it. You can then place the handle in a corner, in a bin, or hang it with curtain rod brackets on a wall to organize craft room strings and ribbons easily in view. If you have room in a cabinet or closet, you could also use a tension rod in the same way to keep the ribbon held aloft. Combine these great hacks for storing your wrapping paper itself, like using a pot lid holder from Dollar Tree for a wall rack that accommodates several rolls. Or use file organizers to organize your collection of new or previously used gift bags you want to reuse for the next year.
