I just KNEW if I let this shopping cart set out in view for awhile I'd come up with a grand idea for its use! The idea came during the night...and this morning my husband cut out a piece of wood to fit the bottom. It prevents the rolls of wrapping paper from falling through.
ALL the wrapping paper I own fits into this contraption which in turn fits perfectly into the back of our laundry closet. The wheels make it easy to pull out when I need to use it.
A bag over the handle will store ribbons and bows.

It was another thrift store buy (as is a lot of the wrapping paper and wallpaper).
To my clothing fashion followers: Please be patient. Very soon, I'll be fitting back into my existing thrifted wardrobe. At that time, I'll be a little more enthusiastic to post the clothing aspect of thrifty style. Thanks for hanging in with me!
What a nifty idea. Currently all my wrapping paper is on the very top shelf in the pantry and I can barely reach it even with a step ladder. The inconvenience leads me to buy more (bad, bad, bad).
