A CRAFTY DIY enthusiast has shown us how to make your window frames sparkle in just minutes with great deals from Poundland.
Transforming your home may make you think you need to spend a fortune to achieve amazing results, but savvy TikTok user Kirby Alicia recently proved that's not necessarily the case. .
A crafty mum from Northern Ireland took to social media to demonstrate how she gave her white window frames a brand new look 'on a budget'.
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars, Kirby found a property on the high street for £2 and renovated the area himself. The process took him only 10 minutes.
A frugal parent who loves all things beautiful, this parent says she used 2 meters of Poundland's PEP&CO Home Adhesive Decorative Vinyl roll, which has a light wood-like texture and cost less than $5.
This roll also comes in a variety of colors, including black and light gray, and is oil-resistant, easy to apply, and waterproof, so you can water your indoor plants without worrying about damaging the vinyl. .
Kirby's original window frame, which she shared in a TikTok video, was covered in paint and had tears from the burner, which she wanted to cover.
First, the craft enthusiast started by measuring the roll to make sure the area fit properly, using his fingers to mark the corners of the area before cutting the roll.
A pro tip she added was: “Allow a few inches just to go around the bottom of the sill.”
“It's as simple as that,” Kirby said, explaining that the back of the vinyl roll “doesn't come off until you peel it off.”
“Honestly, it was very easy. Try it.''
“You'll be surprised at how easy it is.”
A wise mother who posted her bargain makeover on the platform pointed out that the rolls “remove easily enough” if you're not happy with the results.
“If it were me, I would definitely do this over gross and then have to try again.
“On a budget but want to make your sill look great? Instant upgrade with vinyl wrap,” Kirby wrote in the caption.
“This cost me £2 from Poundland, but I didn't spend much from Roll.”
Since being shared online just a day ago, this budget-friendly window light has already racked up nearly 315,000 views, with dozens of parents praising it.
Homeware enthusiasts rave about:
As one savvy TikTok user put it: Adding silicone to the ends will prevent them from lifting when your bathroom gets stuffy. ”
Meanwhile, some people were so inspired by the transformation that they decided they too wanted to try out the £2 hack.
“Oh, I'm going to Poundland as soon as I can. The window frames are awful.”
“Looks nice, but don't add any heat. Then the whole thing caught fire! The heat source was my slow cooker,” a third person warned.
“Oh I love this!! I have the awful plastic one. This is perfect,” chimed in another.
However, not everyone was impressed with the quality of the bargain deal, with one Poundland enthusiast claiming the deal did not last.
“I got this and it keeps ripping.” [are] It's really thin. ”
