I'm a DIY whizz and I panelled my wall with £1 Poundland buys

A WOMAN has revealed that she panelled her wall thanks to £1 bargain buys from a high-street chain.

Morgan (@morgcx) explained that she stocked up on photo frames from Poundland and used them to create a panelled effect on her wall.

Taking to TikTok to show off the process, she shared her clip with the caption ‘Panelling my wall for under £30.’

She said: "Hi everyone, so today I’m going to show you how I panelled my wall using £1 A3 photo frames from Poundland and these pound essentials.

"I started out by taking out the picture bits from the frames and I sanded them down with sanding blocks, which were also £1.

"I then marked out on the wall where I wanted to paint the top section to, because I was painting the top a totally different colour and I wanted to keep the panelling white.

"This is the colour I had on the top, it's by Dulux, it's more of a neutral shade, it's lovely.

"I then drew around the picture frames, evenly spaced and then I used this [heavy duty spray adhesive] from Poundland and I wouldn't recommend it if I’m honest - it is only £1 but I found that you could get a better one for £1 extra.

"It did make a mess but I sprayed the back of the frames and attached them to the walls.

"I did have to hold them for quite a bit of time so I’d say make sure you use two sets of hands for this.

"It did the job though after a while of holding them.

"This is the residue it left over so then I started painting over the frames, this takes quite a few coats.

"Then I went around the inside of the frames as well."

Following this, Morgan explained that she used pieces of wood to create the top of the panelling.

She continued: "I then picked up these two pieces of wood from B&Q - these cost £4.50 each and this grab adhesive is literally amazing, so if you’re going to do this, get that for the frames as well because it stuck on instantly.

"I then had to cut the second wood from B&Q to fit the wall and slot it into place.

"With the Wilko white paint, which is really affordable, it took about three coats."

Morgan then showed off the finished look, as she added: "Then this is the panelling fully done, for under £30.

"Honestly it has made such a difference."

Morgan posted her clip just three days ago, but it has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up a whopping 158.9k views.
