Gift Wrap Organizer

So as I stated last week, while telling you about my DIY workstation, I am organizing.  My pantry isn't quite there yet, but I made some headway this weekend when I organized my gift wrap and gift bags (I was truly shocked at how much I have, I may never have to buy a gift bag again!)  This tutorial on Pinterest gave me the idea to use an over-door shoe organizer to contain my supply. 

I got one for about 8 bucks at Walmart last week.  I didn't sew the pouch that the original poster did (my sewing machine doesn't see much action between August-May).  I rolled up my gift bags and put them into the pouches(my organizer wasn't made like the original poster, so I couldn't make two slots into one).  My tissue paper also got stuffed into a couple pouches (please ignore the messy tissue paper, I didn't take the time to straighten it all out).  The wrapping paper on the bottom was a bit of a problem though.  Only putting it into the bottom slot didn't allow the paper enough support to hold it without it falling out.  So I cut the bottom of the slots right above so the wrapping paper could slide right through it. 

I'm happy with how it turned out, and really impressed at how much I had accumulated.
