BJD Hobby Storage

    I finally got around to clearing out the doll-stuff boxes I’ve amassed over the past year, and it was long overdue. Rummaging through boxes within boxes within boxes just to find whatever I was looking for had grown tiresome. On top of that, things that should have been grouped together in one place were scattered everywhere, which led to me realizing I apparently own not one string-puller, but four of them in total—each bought separately (fortunately, no repeats in size).

    I decided to reach for the mental bookmark I had of fellow BJD hobbyist Vega and their blog for inspiration—to whom I credit the genius idea of using PÄRKLA shoe bags for storing BJD clothing.

    The shoe bags easily fit all of my 1/3 doll clothes with minimal to zero folding. They provide dust-proofing, are made of light, breathable material, and they lay flat and are expandable. Best of all, they're extremely affordable! Easily my favourite IKEA purchase since the BILLY / OXBERG bookcase where I display my fandom collections and sometimes house my BJDs.

    Along with the shoe bags, I purchased a SKUBB closet organizer with six compartments to shelve all my doll clothes. And since I'm only planning to have four dolls in total, they each have their own spacious compartment. I added two SKUBB drawers for the bottom two smaller compartments where I store shoes and other doll stuff. 

This is what they look like: 

 

Shoes, shoes, shoes! 

 

Accessories, tools, a spare wig, eyes in boxes, etc.

 The SKUBB shelving solution: doll clothes in PÄRKLA shoe bags, drawers neatly in place, and an added SAMLA box beneath for extra storage and the things yet to be organized.

    I plan to start labelling clothes and colour-coding them by doll soon. Perhaps I will upgrade jewellery storage from their baggies in cardboard box. As I make use of my system, I may update this post to further add or tweak what I have.
