Mum comes up with genius method of storing son’s footballs by mounting them on the wall as a design feature
A MUM has revealed her ingenious method for tidying up her son’s footballs – and making him a great feature wall in the process.
Parents know how annoying it is tripping over the kid’s toys – especially Lego – with footballs one of the harder pieces of kit to store.
Their bulky size means they take up a lot of room, no matter where you put them, but one mum came up with a brilliant idea for storing them.
After being inspired by seeing something similar online, she got wall-mounted ball brackets made up so she can stack up her son’s footballs vertically.
They're now out of the way, and make a great feature wall in the process.
Sharing her tip to Facebook group , she posted snaps of her partner’s handiwork.
She said: “Thank you to the person who posted about the footballs on the wall!
“Made my partner make some stands and we are currently putting them up!!”
More than 500 people have liked the post, as fellow mums praised the space-saving idea.
