Craft Organizer or Wrapping Paper Station

About Project

Untangle your ribbons, be inspired by your favorite fabrics, and hang your tools in this easy to build craft organizer. Got a pile of scraps? This is the perfect plan to tackle those scraps and clean up your craft room AND you scrap pile.
I did add some pegs to hang scissors, tape and other items from. As you will notice, whenver I can, I try to improve on the original designs.
