Gift Wrap Station

Gift Wrap Station
Wrapping gifts can be a fun and creative endeavor when you have all the necessities at your fingertips. Store bows, paper, tissue, scissors, and tape all in one place with this project.

STEP-BY-STEP

1. Position two 1 x 2 x 4 boards on the back of the peg-board 1/2 inch from the long edges, and position a third 1 x 2 x 4 board in the center. Attach the boards by drilling wood screws from the front of the peg-board. Do not screw into existing peg holes.

Step 1

2. Paint the front of the peg-board with two to three coats, allowing each coat to dry. Here, we also painted the peg-board with blocks of white behind each wrapping roll and gift bag to create the look of shadows.

3. Using included hardware, attach café rods to the peg-board to hold wrapping paper. Insert a double-prong peg hook in the peg-board to hold gift bags, and use two double-prong peg hooks to hold a copper basket for storing ribbons. Hang a over-the-cabinet towel bar from the bottom of the copper basket to hold tissue paper. Insert the peg-hook drill holder in the peg-board to hold scissors, and insert the wire peg-hook basket to hold bows and tape. Use a hot-glue gun to attach a clear sponge holder to contain tags, pens, and other sundries.

4. Using included adhesive squares, attach one 12-inch-square cork tile to keep invitations and notes handy.

5. Attach picture-hanging hardware to the 1 x 2 boards on the back of the peg-board. Hang on your wall with appropriate fasteners for your wall type.

GOOD TO KNOW: Before painting the peg-board, cover your work surface with a drop cloth. While the paint is still wet, tap the peg-board, allowing paint to seep into the holes.
