Holdiay Central: Holiday Wrapping Center

Pretty papers and ribbons make holiday gift-giving festive and heighten everyone's anticipation -- but only if you can find them. So why not spend a few hours creating a well-equipped wrapping station? Start with a free spot in the garage or a guest room; install some Pegboard and a rack for paper and ribbons (we found all the materials at the Home Depot); add a desk (one with drawers is ideal), a stool that tucks under the desk when not in use, and a variety of storage containers -- and you're ready to wrap. In the off season, your project center will help organize essentials for other crafts, like sewing or scrapbooking.
