Shoppers 'amazed' by mum's £1 autumn wreath she created with her young son

Shoppers have been left 'amazed' by one mum's door wreath to celebrate the change in season.

Danni Murphy, from South Wales, created a decorative autumn wreath for her front door with the help of her young son - for just £1.

She shared the creative accessory into the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group, with the post since going viral with more than 5,000 likes.

Alongside a photo of the display, the mum-of-three wrote: "Paid £1 for foil trays in Poundland - cut the middle out, collected free things from our lovely autumn nature, and made an autumn wreath".

Danni, who works as an assistant cook at a primary school, later explained she used a glue gun to put it all together.

It features orange and brown leaves, pine cones, twigs, and yellow and orange pom-poms.

Hundreds of followers of the group have responded saying how great the idea is, admitting they'll be trying it for themselves.

One wrote: "That's a great idea and looks amazing! Thanks for sharing, we will have a go next week" while another said: "What an amazing idea we could do some next week with the boys xxxx".

A third responded: "Fab cheap and great idea to do with the children".

"Omg I love it I’m going to make one, great inspiration thank you," replied another member of the group.

The 34-year-old says she found inspiration for the wreath from the school she works at, where children made similar wreaths using their handprints.

She told the M.E.N: "My five-year-old stuck the pom poms on and helped me collect the leaves. He loves it on the door.

"I got the idea from the school I work in and thought I could make my own.

"All the people I have shown think it's great and that I'm clever."

Danni added: "I've always been into arty things and cannot wait to make a Christmas one".
