Because I live in a cold part of the country and because I like to be cozy and warm when I’m tucked up for the evening, I tend to keep a LOT of pillows and blankets on hand. You might say I’m something of a nester, in fact, the way I like to create a soft, warm spot for reading or knitting or just dreaming away. But I don’t want all those blankets and pillows filling up the couches and chairs all the time, so I need a place to keep them during the day where they can be pulled out at a moments notice. This vintage craft is perfect for this task. Deep enough to hold a substantial amount of extra fluff and warmth, it’s attractive and fits well with my decor while tucking away neatly when not being used.
Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: Less than five minutes
Things you need:
Vintage folding crate
Fold your blankets so that they are just narrower than the crate is wide and tuck them into the crate, folded edge up. Fill the remaining space with extra pillows and tuck the crate somewhere visible but not in the way for the best result.
