HOW TO STORE ALL THAT TISSUE PAPER

If you follow me on The Weekend Edit newsletter you know I love to repurpose stuff.

It was a game-changer when I learned how to paint thi s.

So with Christmas tucked away for the next nine months I needed to wrap up the paper stashed in gift bags and in a dresser drawer in the basement.

• MAGAZINE HOLDERS

I had an assortment of cardboard magazine organizers like these. What I loved is depending on how I stored these from the front (or back depending on your perspective) it looks like a row of magazine storage containers.

It’s only when you turn the box around can you see the tissue paper.

I folded the tissue paper into each bin. In my retirement, I might organize the tissue by color or holiday, but for now, I was thrilled to get the paper off the floor and onto a shelf.

STORAGE

Speaking of shelves, the magazine cardboard organizers can easily be stored in a :

• closet
• laundry room
• on top of an upper cabinet
• shelf

And the best part is the tissue paper is hiding in plain sight. It’s just waiting for the next birthday, holiday, or just because gift.

And all those bows! You can’t separate the bows from the tissue. That would be like storing salt away from the pepper.

I had an extra magazine holder and tossed my assortment of new and used bows.

SOLVES A PROBLEM

Unlike gift boxes, magazine storage boxes sit upright.

If I stacked my tissue paper I would never get past the top box before I ran to the store to grab fresh sheets.

The magazine storage boxes are the easiest organizing project with a huge sense of accomplishment too. When I originally bought my magazine holders I spent too much money on similar boxes at the Container Store with printed patterns. Now? I bought neutral (I do love the clean look of these magazine holders).
