I transformed my drab patio slabs into Moroccan

A SAVVY homeowner has proven that you haven't got to spend a small fortune to update your outdoor patio.

Instead, Sarah demonstrated how you can give your garden patio a total glow up on a budget - using nothing more than paint and a large stencil.

In the clip, which was shared to TikTok (@thenorthernhome), Sarah can be seen giving her social media followers a run down of how she transformed her "drab patio slabs to Moroccan tiles."

She begins: "Get all your tools together.

"You'll need masonry paint, a stencil, a big brush and stencil brush."

To achieve the desired look, Sarah uses the 'Jannah patio stencil' from Dizzy Duck, which costs £38.

First up, she paints on the base coat using a fairly big brush.

"When the base coat is on, line up your stencil and with a small amount of paint on your stencil brush, dab the paint on," she explains.

However, she warns: "Don't put too much paint on the brush - it'll smudge!"

After repeating the process on each patio slab and allowing the paint to dry, the DIY whizz then reveals the stunning new look - and there's no denying it's completely transformed her garden into a Moroccan paradise.

Unsurprisingly, it wasn't long before the post went viral, racking up a whopping 268k views and several comments, with many quick to praise Sarah's very impressive handiwork.

"Good job! It looks great," enthused one.

A second praised: "Wow that's beautiful!! Great job!"

A third commented: "Great work!"

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Looks lovely!"

Another penned: "Looks amazing! Am hoping to do that this year!"

A further added: "Wowwwww, great work!"

And one more chimed in: "Love this idea!"
