Stacey Solomon shares clever DIY panel mirror hack using £1 Ikea photo frames

Stacey Solomon is always sharing her latest DIY projects with fans.

The latest saw the 31-year-old Loose Women star explain how she made a giant panel mirror for just £30.

Unable to find a mirror that would fill the space on her wall on her budget, Stacey decided to make one herself while her youngest son Rex was having a nap.

Taking to her Instagram stories she told fans: "I'm going to try and make a giant mirror. I feel like I really need something in these big white spaces (in her living room) and I love those giant panel mirrors but they're so expensive.

"So I bought these black frames and mirrors from Ikea, all together cost £30 so I really hope I can make it look nice".

Stacey purchased Ikea's £1 Lonsas mirrors and £1.25 Yllevad frames in black, both of which are sized 21x30cm.

She then mounted the mirrors into the frames to make one giant mirror.

To create the mirror she used command strips to hang them up, a spirit level and a tape measure to make sure everything is in the correct place, as well as a pencil to mark the centre.

"I put a line in the middle then put two mirrors either side of the dot and worked from there..." she explained.

Stacey also applied a sticker from her sister's brand The Label Lady, which reads "You Are Enough".

She said: "My sister had the best idea ever to make it even more special - Love this".

Showing off the finished job, Stacey added: "I can't tell you how happy this is making me. I can't believe it. For £30 I'm soooo happy.

"I know it's sad but I just love it. I think I might put more labels. What do you think?

"My sister has made positive ones especially for mirrors and they're just so beautiful".
