My kids have tons of soft animals and dolls and keeping them stored neatly but where the kids can get to them easily has been a challenge since they were born. I’ve been looking for a good solution for a long time and stowing them away in one of these vintage crates is my new favorite. Because the crate is large enough to hold a large number of dolls, it makes good, efficient storage and the style looks great sitting next to their beds.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Time required: Less than five minutes

Things you’ll need:
Vintage folding wood box

Start setting the dolls head and arms up into the crate, squishing them to one end as you add more. As you near the center (for a neater look) start filling from the other end so that the animals and dolls are facing one another. Set the crate in a spot where the kids can get the dolls out (and back in again when it’s time to clean up!) with ease.
