Repurpose a wooden wine box and create this easy and super useful washi tape storage.   A couple of years ago, just before Christmas I sent out a call to all my friends. I asked them to keep the wooden wine boxes that might come their way at the end of the year and give them to me. I’d be happy if they would still be filled with wine ;-), but I would love them equally if they were empty. Lots of my friends heard my call, so I am now the happy owner of at least 20 different wine boxes. Some have already been put to good use as simple paint organizers in the basement, there is This washi tape organizer DIY project is perfect for your craft room.

How to Washi Tape Organizer DIY

These are the necessities : * A wine box. A single bottle one will do if your collection of washi tape is limited, I obviously needed a double * A dowel rod or a long very straight stick. I had a dowel rod left from a project I can’t even remember * Something to stick on one side of the dowel rod to work as a stopper   This is optional: Paint and a label holder   These are the steps

  1. Take your wine box and drill two (singe bottle box) or four (double bottle box) holes, big enough for your stick or dowel to pass through easily. Make sure the holes are at the same position on the front and back.
  2. Saw your dowel to size. Make sure it sticks out about two inches on one side.
  3. Glue or screw your stopper to one end of the rod(s). I had two drawer knobs in my stash. But big buttons, beads or something like a cork would work well too.
  4. Paint the box to your hearts desire. I obviously went for stripes. I used varnish first on the outside and then used white paint to paint the inside and the stripes.
  5. Attach a label holder.

  1. Brilliant! What a great way to keep your Washi tape organized. It’s always so much easier to create when we know exactly were to find our supplies.

  2. Marianne,
    What a great project! Like you said, useful and oh so pretty! 🙂

    I have “tape envy” 🙂

  3. Such a pretty box for such fun tape–makes you just want to create something!

  4. This is very cleaver Marianne! Donna gave you great advice, I find that some of my best projects are made when I really NEED something! I think I NEED one of these! Thanks for the great idea!

  5. I totally need one of these! I’m just starting to build my collection of washi tape, and have rolls sitting everywhere. Adding this to my must-make list!

    What a great (and beautiful) way to organize washi tape! I couldn’t even find all my washi tape right now if I tried. Washi tape is one of those awkward to store things, so they end up in multiple spots/drawers/baskets in my house. I really love this project, and I’m sure I’ll be attempting it soon. I just need to get the word out to my friends to save their wine boxes! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  7. You are the genius! Not only is that cute, it’s an excellent way to store all the tape. Clearly I need friends with wine boxes. And wine too.

  8. I am amazed at wine boxes. I live in the heart of wine grapes. A world winery was nearby growing up. I have never seen nice boxes like these!!! Ever. In any store. And I laugh because in one certain wine country area oh a bit over an hour away, they sell all the town wineries labeled wines at the gas station!!! I Totally love your brilliant solution to tape. When it first came out, I bought rolls at special shops but then I quit. I think storage made mine get gunky. That means the glued edges got bent and dirty. I’m so impressed I’d like a box!! After this Christmas you will have to beg your friends again and secretly add to your Etsy shop!!!!!
