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.

Secure your home for the Holidays

 

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.

 

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 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.
