I was sick of my family dumping their mess everywhere so I tried a DIY hack to keep things tidy – it looks so posh too
A MUM who was sick of her family dumping their mess everywhere came up with a savvy way to keep it hidden.
Katie Hewitt shared the DIY hack she came up with on Instagram, and it looks so posh too.
The mum said she hated people just chucking their keys, wallet and other junk down when they walk through the front door.
Using a plant pot and fake plant from Ikea, Katie made a hidden spot for all that annoying but necessary junk and clutter.
To make the pot, she cut out off the top part of the plant, securing it with some cardboard and a glue gun.
The top of the plant should be the same size of slightly smaller than the pot you’re using.
If it’s bigger you can add some fake moss or leaves to the cardboard to disguise it though.
“Say good bye to misplaced keys and cluttered surfaces,” Katie said.
Once the glue was dry she placed the pot by her front door so it’s easy to pop stuff in there once she gets home.
“This was so simple and easy to make, give it a go,” she said.
Other DIY fans loved the idea too and wanted to make their own.
One said: “Great idea! Although I bet my husband would still put it next to it.”
A second commented: “I love this, so much better than a bowl for keys.”
Not everyone was convinced though, and some thought they’d end up forgetting their stuff was in the pot.
“I would automatically forget I put it in the plant pot and freak out,” one said.
And another agreed: “I’d totally forget and spend ages looking for my things.”
