However, the dowel system worked great while we used it and it did not ever effect the alignment of the cabinet door.<br /><br />Best,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-54321047865739340342020-05-02T11:45:38.489-05:002020-05-02T11:45:38.489-05:00I'm wondering the same.I'm wondering the same.

I used a metal pants hanger. The rolls of wax, foil, and plastic fit over each rung of the hanger. I originally glued the metal cutting strip from the boxes to each rung. But found that this did not hold on long. So I just hung a small razor blade cutter on a string next to the hanger and I can easily cut off the lengths I need. seleyrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952256802310177092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-87293551128662977642018-04-02T13:14:16.988-05:002018-04-02T13:14:16.988-05:00It's been a while since you posted this, so do...It's been a while since you posted this, so do you have any commentson what didn't work, and what you woulddo to fix it? <br />Did the dowels keep slipping out of the hooks?

I know this likely seems silly but I've seen all the great boxes you've wrapped and attempted to reuse and wrap boxes myself, but become frustrated and either give up completely or just do the bottom of the box. It would be so helpful to see how you do this! Thanks much!!!

Taking the time to wrap the boxes now wouldn't matter so much if they're being reused over and over. Should work as long as you're buying the same or similar product/size. Then you could go as far as labelling the boxes with those pretty labels you so love! I know, I know, it's the little things and I share your love for making everyday things a little prettier. :) <br />- MoniqueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-45354477712750769932015-03-03T22:40:56.905-06:002015-03-03T22:40:56.905-06:00I added these to one of the lower doors right belo...I added these to one of the lower doors right below the temporary surface we are using for cooking. And I removed the lid before I wrapped the first box, as the cutting edge was on the lower portion anyway, keeping it easy enough to see the contents. I also figured I could just swap out the roll whenever it ran empty, so my efforts wouldn't be completely wasted. However, not knowing if I would keep this system around long term, I decided to hold off on the rest of the pretty box wrapping for now. :) xo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.com
