Some of you may have a space problem when it comes to having too many baseballs.  After snagging 544 in 2010, I have amassed over 1,000 baseballs, and really don’t have any where to put them at. 

I ended up filling up three and a half large garbage cans, but they are an eyesore.

Here’s what I ended up doing with three of the garbage cans:

Step one: 
Place a garbage can filled with baseballs next to your bed, a couch, or chair.

Step two:
Place plastic bags over the top of the balls in order to create a more flat, even surface.

Step three:
Place a wooden table top cut out over the balls and bags, making sure it is stable and not wobbly:

Step four:
Cover the garbage can with fabric:

Step five:
Place items on the garbage can, thereby creating an end table or night stand.

My mom gets credit for coming up with this idea.  After my recent divorce I needed a creative way to store the baseballs since I’m in a smaller apartment now rather than a big house.
