This easy to make DIY Wrapping Paper Organizer cart will keep all your paper, tape, gift tags and ribbon organized and easy to access and is perfect for wrapping paper storage year-round. I am sharing what I used to make my cart and how I have organized it. If you have dreams of organized gift wrap storage dancing in your head along with sugar plums, then this DIY wrapping paper organizer cart will make all your Night before Christmas dreams come true!

 I have taken my gift wrapping game from this HOT MESS…

To this snappy little DIY Wrapping Paper Organizer Cart.

Details of my DIY Wrapping Paper Organizer Cart:


  • The gift wrap stands up straight in the Wrapping Paper Organizer; you can easily see what you have and easily access what you need. I have all my gift bags tucked inside one larger gift bag inside the cart…and when you’re done wrapping, voila! It is also ideal for storage year-round!
  • The storage up front holds my tape and random wrapping doodads…
  • While the storage in the back of my Wrapping Paper Storage Cart holds folded sheets of tissue paper and a folder of gift tags, receipts, and pens.

But, perhaps the most cherished, invaluable, can’t live without, rocks-my-world detail of my new DIY Wrapping Paper Organizer is the retractable scissor holder!

Here’s what I used to make this DIY Wrapping Paper Organizer Cart:


  • Folding Shopping Cart… this is the one I purchased.
  • Retractable Reel for scissors
  • Magazine Rack to hold tissue paper and tag folder
  • Small Rack for tape and miscellaneous
  • Plastic Envelope to hold sheets of tags and loose tags

    Did you use the cart pictured in the supplies area, or did you use a shopping cart? Never mind. I visited your blog and found the answer. This is a great idea. Love the scissors.

    Great idea but where can I get a cart like this for a reasonable price. No one seems to have one to sell and the new ones are ridiculous.
