Mum transforms her home into a winter wonderland for under £4 – and the kids will love it
WITH Christmas less than a month away, a lot of us are pulling out the decorations this week.
Luckily one savvy mum has shared her cheap and easy decoration idea – plus it’s great if you’re limited on space or you’ve got kids running around.
Suraka Martinez, known online as @surakajane, regularly shares DIY content with her 10,000 followers.
In one of her latest videos, the savvy mum shares how she transformed some of the glass doors in her house to make them a little more festive.
“So I’ve been wondering what to do with these windows and I’ve really overdone it on the stickers, and then I saw the video linked below and it gave me an idea.
“I ran straight to Tesco and picked up some liquid chalk pens, and headed over to Canva in order to print the stencils I wanted.
“They were too big to print on A4, so I printed them out, chopped them up and put them together like a jigsaw.
“Popped them in place and then began tracing.
“I absolutely love how these have turned out. I think it’s such a cool feature in the room.
“I’d definitely recommend giving it a go. I went with white and red but you could do all the colours if you wanted to.”
