Plastic Wrap Box

Hey Joe Welcome to LJs
I would just use a box the wrap comes in as a estimate of the correct size and adjust for the thickness of the wood. You could use a hacksaw blade to cut the wrap with and maybe have a sliding top to put the plastic wrap in the box.

Ditto on Jim’s comments. Check with her about maybe making a multiple rolled goods dispenser; Plastic wrap, waxed paper, and Aluminum foil.

Or, make one that mounts under the cabinet – leaves the counter top free and utilizes free space.

Here’s some different ideas

Here is one that might work for you. I made this to mount on the wall in my shop to hold waxed paper. Found it in one of my magazines but think I have seen it online somewhere as well.

I was right, it was on Wood Magazine’s website – Waxed Paper Dispenser.

If you want to get a little more complicated, you might try this kitchen organizer. Plans for this are available are available on Binky's Woodworking Website.

Hope that this helps.

Jim,
Thanks a lot for the ideas, I will pass them on the the mother-in-law and get her thoughts.
