Hey there! Welcome to Decorate and More with Tip! Here on my blog I share tips on how you can decorate your home on a budget by creating it from scratch, revamping, re-purposing or giving it a makeover with easy tutorials. I hope I inspire you to create something beautiful for your home. 🙂
Before I give my craft room tour I wanted to share in detail my wrapping station. This will come in handy during the Christmas season, I can’t wait!! Although with this virus pandemic right now I am not too sure how much fun shopping will be. Our daughter and I love to do our annual Black Friday shopping marathon. We will have to change things up this year. Anyhoo, I am ready to wrap gifts any time of the year.

Starting this project I knew I wanted to display my wrapping paper and hide all of my spools of ribbon. Storing my ribbons would be a huge task since I have a tendency in picking up pretty ribbon for no apparent reason. That being said, I needed something large enough to hold all of my wrapping supplies. I found a two drawer wooden filing cabinet, I brought it home and painted it with Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore.
I place new pull handles and painted the lock plate metallic gold to match.
Do you want to take a look at my addiction, I am going to share what’s inside the drawers.
In this drawer I placed all my gift bags, shrink gift bags, tissue paper and all my thin craft ribbon in Dollar Tree baskets. Using the baskets keeps everything in it’s place.
I folded the tissue paper so it will fit nicely in the baskets. In one basket I can store layers of spools of ribbon.
For all of my gift bags I placed them in the back of the drawer.
For my shrink bags I placed them to one side.
In the bottom drawer I place all my larger spools of ribbon in layers. All my Christmas ribbons are stored away. I will change out my ribbon when the season begins.
I added two Dollar Tree baskets to hold my bows and more of my craft ribbons.
With all my ribbon it’s hard to have it neatly organized, but I am happy with how I have it.
Let’s take a look at the top of my cabinet.
In the three glass containers I placed my washy tape, mini bows and paper filler. I have bags of different colored fillers stored in my craft closet, I add the blue filler to go with the room’s color. 🙂
Behind the containers I placed a pail of colorful pens and my scissors. Sitting next to the pail I placed my tape dispenser.
I placed all my greeting cards, double sided tapes, tags and my label maker in a wooden organizer.
To match the hardware I spray painted my twine spool metallic gold. I placed it on the cabinet to grab when I need to tie a label onto a package.
Moving up on the wall, first you will see all my coronated colored gift bags and tissue paper. I spray painted two wall mounted file organizers white and threaded a piece of ribbon through the holes where they can be stacked to one another.
I built a wall organizer to store my rolls of wrapping paper and curling ribbons. As you can tell, I placed color coordinated paper and ribbon on my organizer.
For my extra wrapping paper I tucked in the corner.
I know I say this every time I share a piece of my craft room, but I am so happy to have this station in the room. It is so nice having everything right there in one area and grab what I need. My work station will be where I do all the wrapping. 🙂

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
When a workspace is pleasing to the eye, it is a whole lot more fun to use it. The worktable is a definite bonus! If I had a room like your craft/creative room, I would go in there just to look at all the pretties.
Terrie, you are one organized gal! WOW! Love the bright-cheery colors and what fun you’ll have this Christmas! Great job with that filing cabinet! It looks awesome!
I love that it’s all color coordinated! You are beyond organized Terrie, what a dream! I have a wrapping station in my garage, but it is currently a hot mess, I must reorganize!
Of course it has to be color coordinated. ha! It will be a hot mess come wrapping season I am for sure. It will be nice wrapping gifts with all the necessary items close at hand. Thank you Jenna!
