Storing rolls of gift wrap
The rolls lost their slot in the rebuild, so they got a bin on wheels instead.
Rebuilding the craft corner cost me the slot the rolls of wrapping paper used to stand in, and tall thin things with nowhere to go do not stay stood up for long. They had been leaning against the end of the desk for a fortnight, falling over roughly daily.
The fix took five minutes and used two things I already had.
What went into it
A waste bin, rescued from the recycling area at work. A place I have got a great deal out of over the years. Deep enough that a roll stands with most of its length below the rim, which is the whole trick: a shallow container just makes a slower fall.
Four castors, bought for an ottoman in the bedroom and never fitted, because I had since bought different ones for that.
How it went on
I did not screw the wheels on. They went on with adhesive cushion pads, four of them, one per castor, pressed hard onto the base.
A warning about those pads. They are extremely difficult to get off again. Do not use them on anything you might want to take apart, or on a surface you care about. On the underside of a plastic bin nobody will ever look at, they are perfect.
It feels completely solid. I had expected to end up screwing the castors on properly within a week and I never have.
Why on wheels
Because everything in this house ends up on wheels eventually. See also the wrapping itself, which is what the rolls are for. But specifically: wrapping happens on the floor or on the dining table, not at the desk, and a bin you can pull to wherever you are working is worth considerably more than a bin that stays put and looks tidier.
