A mum has explained how she used a £1 book to create a stunning Harry Potter look to her home.
Kylie Lyons used the technique to turn everything from her walls, doors and even furniture into a homage to her favourite boy wizard.
"I collect old Harry Potter books mainly from car boot sales and charity shops for cheap and didn't have anything I could use them for," mum-of-two Kylie told money-saving community LatestDeals.co.uk.
"I had seen people use them for different crafts and I wanted to make my own.
“That's when I saw some wallpaper that had a similar pattern on it and thought I could use one of the books to make my own effect. "
The first thing to be transformed by the 27-year-old from Darlington was her door.
"I first tried it out on my door because it was so boring I wanted to liven it up a bit," Kylie said.
"The door worked out great so I knew I could apply it to almost anything and get a good look."
“Initially I did this to my bedroom door and then a wall, and then I decided that I didn't like the look of my old chest of drawers so I just decided to give it a go.
"The book only cost me £1 from a car boot sale - I always keep a look out for old Harry Potter items!”
To pull something off yourself, all you need is some PVA glue, varnish and a brush - as well as a book.
“Honestly, it's really easy,” she said. “All you need is the item you want to Potter-fy, PVA glue, a paintbrush or just a normal sponge, and varnish to seal it."
Kylie also gave tips on how to do it yourself.
“Put a thin layer of PVA on the item, place the page how you want it, then just go over the page with some more PVA," she explained.
“Don’t worry if it bubbles - just get as many as you can out and the rest will go as the paper dries.
“Once it's dried, just go over that with a layer or two of varnish with either a brush or a sponge."
To finish off the chest of drawers, Kylie also tracked down some fancier handles.
“The new handles in total cost me £24 from B&Q - they are all pewter effect, which I think goes well with the Harry Potter theme," she explained.
"The PVA glue was £3.99 from B&M and I already have a massive tin of varnish that I use."
But the final effect was more than worth it.
“I’m so happy how they all turned out,” she said. “It's such a simple process but adds so much life to the piece!”
