What Works For Me: Storing Diecast Cars




Welcome to my first Works For Me Wednesday! Do you have a million of these in your house?


Well, I wanted to share a way to store them that has worked for us for over two years. When my son's collection started growing into the hundreds, we had to figure out a new way to store the cars that would not damage them. Even the largest Hot Wheels suitcases only hold 100 cars.

My husband and I have to be very creative with storage in this tiny little townhouse of ours. We came up with the idea of storing the cars in a single layer in boot trays and keeping the trays under the living room sofa! It has worked out really well. The cars are out of the way and out of sight, my son can access them easily, the cars won't get damaged as they would all thrown into a bin, plus the trays keep other toys from disappearing underneath the sofa.
