Wrapping Paper in File Storage

You don't need to toss scraps of wrapping paper when you have this DIY storage solution. You often see wrapping paper stored horizontally, but vertical storage works equally well, particularly for wrapping sheets (instead of rolls), small pieces cut off the roll, and bags. Use a file folder or turn a bookshelf on its side for orderly wrapping you can easily see and quickly pull out.
