Storage for 18" doll clothes.
I am making our DGD some doll clothes for Christmas. I currently have them in a 12X12 storage container, but it is getting to full. Anyway, my question, does anyone have an idea of how I could make some kind of small closet/ storage for her to keep the clothes in? I am planning to have hangers for them, if I can find I good way to make a hanging closet for them.
Thanks for your ideas!

One of the members on this QB used a small bookcase that was purchased at an office supply store. They took out middle shelf and put a small extension rod to hold the clothes. Also, someone posted a site of where to get doll clothes hangers

I need to make one for my DGD soon. For the accessories I think a shoebox size Sterilite container will do.

All the above suggestions are great. But it reminds me of a time about 55 years ago when I made a closet and clothes hangers for my doll from a cardboard box. I turned the box on it's narrow end so the top flaps would be the doors. I cut a hole through the sides and used a tree branch for the dowel to hang the hangers on. I cut hangers from another cardboard box. It was almost as much fun making the closet as it was playing with it afterwards.

Remember the Barbie cases that had hangers on both sides and opened like a wardrobe trunk with a handle on top and a simple latch? HL or J's had a paper mache type box that would be perfect for a portable wardrobe. I'm sorry I don't remember exactly where I saw it. But it would be oh so cute decorated up and full of clothes. (Now I want to make one, even though I don't have any dolls, dresses or little girls to give to.)

Go on line American Girl Wardrobe closet and you can find plans to make a wardrobe. My husband is making our granddaughters one for Christmas and putting in two rods to hold the clothes so he changed the plans a bit. Some also show drawers but I went to Hobby Lobby and got the stack of drawers from the scrapbook section for the girls to put shoes and accessories in, good luck
