A mum has revealed how she created this incredible makeshift Santa's Grotto for her kids with a cardboard playhouse from Aldi.
The inventive design was finished with just a pack of colouring pens and some cotton wool.
The woman forked out £7 for the cardboard igloo and used her imagination to complete the rest.
She uploaded the picture to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains group on Facebook and explained how she did it.
The mum explained how she struggled to get hold of Hobbycraft's cardboard igloo which has been extremely popular with Christmas shoppers in recent weeks.
"So I couldn’t get a hold of the cardboard igloo and opted for the Santa’s grotto instead from Aldi (£7) and coloured pens from Asda (£1.80)," she wrote.
"Already had cotton wool lying around so used that for snow. Not a masterpiece but the kiddos will be happy with it I hope."
The post has already notched up hundreds of likes and comments for other mums who have have expressed their amazement at the woman's handiwork.
One person wrote: "That is dedication with those colouring pens. Nice one mummo."
While another said: "Looks really nice, the fact you did it kids will love it."
Another mum revealed she had also bought the colour-in playhouse, explaining she plans to use it instead of Christmas Eve boxes.
"I’ve bought one of these an instead of doing Christmas Eve boxes," she said.
"I’m putting their stuff inside then they can colour it, something to keep them quiet on Crimbo Eve.
"Then I’m gonna leave the milk and cookies inside."
The playhouse has sold out online but is still reportedly available in-store
