A MUM has revealed how she upcycled her daughter’s bedroom storage boxes using £1 Disney tote bags from Poundland.

Taking to Facebook to show off the crafty idea, the mum explained she used just four bags and a glue gun to achieve the princess-themed look.

Writing on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains group, she said: “Not really a bargain as such but upcycled my daughter’s storage boxes.

“Bags from Poundland. Cut them down and glue gunned them on.”

The mum shared three images, including one of the stylish £1 bags beforehand and another of the finished product.

And the results looked amazing, with the storage unit featuring Pocahontas, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty style boxes.

Other parents on the group were seriously impressed, with the post having a whopping 12,000 likes already – despite being shared less than a day ago.

One commented: “That is an awesome idea and it looks amazing!”

While another said: “Love this idea! Might have to have a go myself.”

And other parents revealed they had had the same idea, with several sharing photos of their DIY work, too.

One creative mum had even made a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs-themed design – which others described as “gorgeous”.
