I usually spend hours hunched over on the floor wrapping gifts. Back ache and all;) I've always wanted a Cute Christmas gift wrap Station. This year I DID IT! I turned our living room dining table into a gift wrap station. We eat our family meals at our dining table in our family room. So we won't miss this table for 1 month.
Wow! Note to self...Iron that wrinkly table cloth!!
I used a red table cloth that I already had and went to work. I used small Christmas boxes I got last year on Clearance to hold items like my gift tags, and ribbon, tape, scissors, and pens.
I like to wrap my gifts with fun little surprises attached. Here is how I organized my bells and cookie cutters. I mean really...who wouldn't want a jingle bell or Christmas Cookie Cutter attached to their gift;)
I used a glass ceramic bowl I already had for the cookie cutters. The bells are in the bottom of a 2 tiered fruit holder I already had.

Here is a better look at the end of the table with tags, bells, more ribbons and cookie cutters.
I also bought pretty glitter snowflakes to tie to my packages this year.
This is the only thing I bought to organize my station.
This is a $5 trash can from Wal-Mart. It holds all gift boxes, gift bags, tissue paper, and can also hold rolls of wrapping paper. I love that I can stand to wrap gifts and all of my fun and functional items are at my fingertips. I am ready to WRAP!
Total Cost of Gift Wrap Station $5
Here is a 2nd look at our Hot Chocolate Bar.
Cocoa Packets, Chocolate Covered Cookie Sticks, and Marshmallows.
Yummy!
I'm still planning to add some candy canes and mint truffle hershey kisses.
I know where to go when I run out of tape. :) Looks like a fun place to wrap presents!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I went and bought paper and boxes and bows and things at Hobby Lobby. I'm set! I get busy when the kids are at school. I try to use a different paper for each kid so they don't know who it's for until the day of! It's a lot of fun.
