When it comes to giving your home a makeover, it's easier than you might think to do it without spending a fortune.
One mum recently revealed how she transformed her entire bathroom for under £100.
And now another parent has explained how she managed to breathe new life into her children's bedroom, creating a quirky feature wall using items she had around the house.
Gina Searby took to Facebook to share a photo of the finished wall and explain exactly how she did it - and the whole thing cost her less than £20 to do.
In a post in the group, DIY On A Budget, she told how she only used a celery stick, paint pot testers and cheap paint.
She wrote: "Managed to make this work, my son and daughter have to share a room now and this is it finished."
Gina went on to say how she'd created the leopard print effect by chopping a celery stick into two different sizes and dabbing it onto the wall with black paint from two tester pots she'd purchased from B&M for 10p each.
The green paint, in the shade Mint Crisp, was from Wilkos own brand and was left over from painting another room. It's currently being sold for £12 a tin.
The pink paint was by Johnstone's in the shade Ballet Slipper and Gina told Mirror Online she managed to pick it up while it was on sale for just £6 - meaning the whole wall only cost around £19 to complete.
Fellow Facebook users were really impressed with the work she did on the wall, with one person branding it "stunning".
"Amazingly practical and stunning," they commented.
Another said: "Genius. I am really impressed!"
A third added: "You painted it with celery?!? Shut the front door!!!"
