Sport themed storage

Like I've said before I love anything that looks organized. That being said we needed to update our "toy room" storage. What we had before (wish I had pictures) was all our books and toys in a small black bookshelf and the rest of our toys in bins in the boys room. We have a ton of toys and only a few of them were being played with because most were in bins and too hard to get to. I went to Ikea, my absolute most favorite store to be in, I fell in love with this Bookcase and I just had to get it! Then as I circled around the store I found some canvas baskets that fit in it perfectly and they were only like $4... how can you pass that up!? We laid the bookcase on it's side, top row for random toys/books and bottom has the baskets in it. Each basket has a "theme" of toys in them so it's easy for us to organize our toys and figure out where everything goes or is when we're looking.
All that to say what I was really wanting to talk about, which was the canvas baskets. They only had pink and black ones. I decided to get the black ones, duh I have no girls, and I decided to make them sport themed (the boys room is sport themed as well). Got some stuff at JoAnns and started making balls for each one. It was so easy and fun to do. Loved the way they turned out and so do my boys!
