The dowel holes are the one detail that needs real precision — bored with a spade or Forstner bit sized exactly to a 3/4" dowel, since a loose hole lets the dowel (and every roll of wrapping paper hanging on it) tip and slide. Mark the hole centers carefully before drilling, and cut the corners off the top and bottom afterward for a softer profile.
Everything else is straightforward shelf-and-divider construction, screwed to studs through the back panel since a fully loaded wrapping station — paper rolls, ribbon, tape, scissors — carries real weight for a wall-mounted piece.

Measure and mark the hole centers on both side panels. Drill with a 3/4" spade or Forstner bit sized exactly to the dowels — a loose hole lets the dowel (and everything hanging on it) tip. Cut the top and bottom corners off each side with a jigsaw or circular saw for a softer profile.

Hang the organizer on the wall through the back panel into studs, using 3" screws. Insert the dowels into the drilled holes to hold wrapping paper rolls upright.
