Best Stuffed Animal Storage Hack! 😍

Ask me how much I loathe stuffed animals! They are really the worst! I am a big-time minimalist and stuffed animals give me anxiety. They are also terrible for people with allergies and sinus issues.

Both of my kids are obsessed with stuffed animals! They get so excited when a friend or family member gives them a new friend.

In addition both kids have a Grandmother that  loves them very much and makes them a tremendous amount of knit dolls and toys. She is a master knitter and each one of her creations is more priceless than the last. What to do?

We love our new 'friend pens' made out of wall mounted flower pot holders.  They are made of lightweight metal. I spray painted ours and distressed them to give character. Our kids LOVE that their friends are not in a toy box, closet, or drawer. They love seeing them up in their rooms!

Keith and I are really happy with the way these friend pens turned out! We ordered our wall mounted flower pot holders on Amazon. Katie received 3 - 46 inch holders (triple stacked on her wall) and Jack received 4 - 24 inch holders (two stacked side by side at the 90* angle of two neighboring walls). They are not uber expensive relatively speaking. They were a splurge purchase basically but SO worth it! They look really awesome.

This would work for dog moms too. A small 24 inch holder would be great and so cute for doggie toys!

You could also use this hack for a small space to keep rolled bathroom towels, blankets, or other items. They come in all different sizes!

We love this storage hack! Happy kids, happy parents! Double win! Contained friends!
