While cleaning my son's room I found an old thing he used to store books in and it was perfect for what I wanted to do and more important - it fit PERFECTLY in the little space behind the door.
I mounted a magnetic knife holder from IKEA for scissors and small containers also from IKEA.
The wrapping paper was sorted and actually stayed as it was - I used another thing from IKEA which originally is for storing plastic bags.
For the ribbons I had a small challenge - I wanted to be able to remove the ribbons easily for replacement or for big wrapping projects where I don't want to run back and forth for ribbons (like wrapping 72 small presents for the advent calender at Christmas). But I found two small hooks and I cut the rod I used earlier to size:
Since I didn't want to fix the hole from the previous ribbon holder I found a bathroom hook that was left over for silk ribbons or bags etc.
On the shelf all the tape is and the extra ribbons. The black and white containers - also from IKEA - fit perfectly on the bars across and they contain extra tape, small to and from cards and other misc. stuff.
I love the finished result and as our exchange student said: I envy the next person who comes and live here who get to use it (I guess with Christmas over she doesn't expect to do much wrapping :) ).
