Every Teddy deserves a home – a place to curl up at the end of a long day of play, preferably not on the floor.
There are plenty of great storage options for soft toys – wicker baskets, toy boxes, hammocks all readily available at major retailers. However, if you’re looking for something outside the box, then check out these clever DIY soft toy storage ideas. We love them all!Â
1. Toy Hammock
One of the easiest and cheapest options you have for plush toy storage is a hammock that hangs neatly in the corner of a room. Little Mager House did their own DIY rendition of the toy hammock using cute dinosaur fabric – this is a great idea for any themed bedrooms.
