5 Poundland DIY Hacks - Quick & Simple

hello and welcome to diy aye cheers very much for checking out my channel today i'm bringing you five poundland diys that are shabby and chic and cute and i hope you like them let's just jump right in so for the first diy we're going to take this little glass jar this is really lovely in itself and great for a quid and i'm going to take this little tester pot paint um this cost me like a quid 50 for b m or something and we're just going to pour this directly in i used about half yeah so yep just throw that in there fling your lid back on and then you're just going to twirl it around and just kind of like get it moving inside just to the whole inside is covered so yeah just shake it all about okay okay sorry you need to sing that almost done yeah so tip it upside down um and just leave like a itty-bitty little gap under there just so the paint can run out take these these off these are off of uh just some of the lights you get they're just like a pound for a pack i got these at christmas but i've seen them at other times of the year and i'm going to use those to make a little legs on the bottom and i'm just going to use some hot glue and squoosh four-way squishers and then they have this kind of little end part so i'm just going to face them in so you can't see it from the bottom i'm working with what i have so i stick them on there let it dry for a wee second and then bloop it just stands there waits we legs oh it has we feet now no shoes that oh it's beefy maybe cold no it's not real it's just a jar um right this is from the quicker chip friary thing so i've just cut a strip of that off and i'm going to take that and just put it around the rim just to make it look a wee bit more fencer um and then i took uh some rope twine string why do you always have issues with like ropey type stuff naming it um that i took that and i tied it around uh just like some flowers and just plopped it in the top just to make a cute wee vase and i love this i love the color a whole lot as well i would like it in like a pinky or maybe like a peachy color as well but yeah look how fancy this looks for like almost it's like almost bloody free it's like a pound i don't know maybe less two pounds quicker chips we're going to grab this for the next one and gonna grab a mirror um i have two mirrors here but i'm only going to be using one of them these mirrors are actually from uh b m they're like a pound but you could use the poundland ones and just pop them out like the little handheld kingdom ones you can pop out the frame or just go to being them um and then we're going to take the quick chip thing and cut it to size i'm using an old one just because i have spare left over so don't mind that this is a bit shabby cut it down to size to it fits your photo frame whatever photo frame you've decided to use and then just stick some hot glue just to stick it inside put the back back on and don't mind that i'm going to cover that area with the mirror or i'm just going to like stick a little bit away uh paint back over it so i'm going to take some hot glue and then i'm just going to stick a mirror right on you it's simple this is like the easiest one ever i mean tons of my diys are really really easy but i mean you're paying for the thought process right i mean you're not really paying i'm not earning anything it's free um so yeah so just stick the mirror right in the middle tube lovely um and that is it oh well actually stick something heavy on it just so it sticks down a wee bit better and then just give it i'll be 15 minutes and you should be good to go and this is how it turned it i actually like it i like it a lot it's really simple but it looks fancier than what it costs i mean it's like two quid like three quint like to make this but it's cute and it's kind of like the wicker effect that's been really in for the last year for the next one we're going to take this uh photo frame it's just one of the long photo frames i've used this one before but i'm just going to reuse it i'm going to take some lollipop sticks and i'm going to line them directly across the top like this and then i'm just going to grab some hot glue glue and just like squish squishy all over the top just to make them all stick together like this so i don't need to glue them individually because who has time for that nuts uh and then yeah so they're all glued together stick it down glue them on top of the frame and then i'm gonna take these i'm gonna grab a couple of these little hearts to make handles i use this and these in one of my diys the other day so i've used this like a bunch these were from like the uh mother's day range or were they from the valentine's their hearts valentine's i'm the worst glue the little bottom bar parts together like that and then just glue it directly onto the side now don't lift these and use these as handles unless you use like staples or nails to put them on or they will come off because it's just hot glue um you could use a super glue if you want to do that um take some paint squish it on the top or you could just spray paint it i'm going for a kind of shabby look so i'm going to like dab this is just acrylic paint no i'm taking rainbow for a wee walk while the paint dries this is her just chasing absolutely everything and then just eating grass who knows why she's crazy um that's your review of rainbow for the day uh and yeah so this is it dry uh like an hour later and uh as i said if you want to be able to lift the tray up then staple it to the side or use a stronger glue so i'm going to take a little gray just an acrylic paint pen marker and i'm just going to draw directly up like the little slats i would just to kind of make it look a wee bit like a shiplap so i'm just using another lollipop stick to make them straight because i couldn't draw a straight line to save my life um but you don't actually have to you can just fling on whatever you like and then i'm just going to shabby up the sides and yeah just like this super easy shabby up that um if you want to cover the glue on the side stick something prettier over it and then the sun is beating in the bloody window and driving me nuts so this is how it looks with a big sunlight i wish this would just bloody move over just a wee bit just just a wee bit and then uh finally covered it and here you go uh this is how it turned out so just acutely shelf somewhere nice to display your crystals or just whatever you like so yep moving on to the next one i'm gonna take this little jar and this little basket uh you can use these stickers if you like the poundland ones i really like these ones uh to stick on there i'm going to use this for like hair ties and stuff or you could use these ones that are from i think these are from home bargains i like the poundland ones better than the home bargains ones my issue with the poundland ones is is if i use like the uppercase h to write hair then i need to use like an uppercase a and i don't want it to be all in uppercase i want some lowercase letters and i don't seem to have any maybe i've just maybe there is ones i've just missed it but if there is any deer poundland please get them um but yes so we're just going to use this um and just stick it right onto the side it's really really easy just like this or if you have paint pens and stuff or markers that can write on glass then you can just you can just do that lovely okay now to the hard bit sorry if you heard rainbow shaking we need to stick this basket onto the top of here which i'm not gonna lie it's a wee bit footy but stick with me we'll get there um so especially because there's like this wheel edge bit that's kind of like up so maybe not hot glue maybe hot glue for the initial stick but maybe some like super glue or you who glue to uh to give it like a kind of like better bond so i'm going to put it on like this um and then i'm going to use britney bit um brittany hi i'm going to use we brittany and just like draw on around kind of like where they touch just it's hard to explain just look just so i know where i put the glue before i stick it back on like see the little kind of like lines so put the glue in between those lines and then you can just stick it right on top so yeah that's what we're going to do and it'll work right um um so yeah just go ahead and do that it's it's a bit messy it's yeah it's a wee bit messy i'm not gonna lie and it looks a bit awkward however we can easily fix that by just cutting out a wee bit of card and just messy um just putting it over the top of it and hiding it pretty much so yeah so i took this just at one of my scrapbooks you could use like a gift bag or whatever you have a part of a magazine and just cut it out an every square and put it inside it actually looks really really pretty this way and i haven't stuck it down so you can change it like whenever you like but it just covers the glue um it's an easy solution and like it's still stuck on like securely enough that you can pick the lid up uh with the basket and not have to worry about it falling or anything so yeah turned out like this can put like little hair bubbles inside and maybe like scrunchies on top or you could make it any like a fruit basket or something so so many options yeah so i turned it like this and you know what no bad for a couple of quid and i quite like it and yeah rainbow approves of this one i'm sure she does all right so moving on to the next boop you can lift the wee jar like that i don't know why i'm showing you this for so long eh all right moving on to the next one um so i made a pom-pom just with a sweet pom-pom maker and then i'm taking some of these beads uh just for the poundland craft section and this is poundland will if that helps um so made a pom-pom make sure you trim it up really nice so it's nice and round and fluffy and uh and then we're just going to use uh some string i used this because it's just what i had and i done like 12 inches um if you have something thinner or you have a needle with a bigger loopy holy thing that you put the thread through then maybe use this because this was a wee bit of pain in the arse so i'm going to do like three um of the pink kind of like on each piece of string which is going to be like a foot the entire wee knot at the bottom just so they don't fall off you might need to like tie it a couple of times depending on how thick your uh string is or whatever but if you're using this probably twice and then stick a bunch of white ones so i done like three pink for the feet and then i think i've done seven or eight uh the white ones just like for the rest of the legs so just throw those on there and then i just took a needle with quite a thick hole at the top what's that hole called tell me in the comments and then i just like put it through there um stuck it in my mouth about 20 times to bloody make the we end bit thinner or you could just stick a wee bit hot glue on it and kind of like smooth it you know so it would go through easier and then i tied a knot um around the needle just like this just so that you can pull it through the pom pom and the string doesn't fall off so just like this stab stab stability stab mind your fingies yep so just put it through like that pull it the other way end and look have you noticed i painted my fingernails i'm so sorry my fingernails are always a riot it's because i'm always crafting and burning my fingers and getting paint up my fingernails and but somebody was mean the other day and said they couldn't watch because my fingernails were terrible so i painted them but i also blocked them because red but yeah just in case you also hate them there you go with some pink fingernails um yeah so just pull it through and then just do the exact same uh with the other the other one and once you get them through uh tie a knot at the other side and then just like if you have a bigger bead like this it makes more sense because it looks more like a head uh but if you don't you could just use more of the small ones or like you could use a button or something just something a wee bit bigger you could even use a bouncy ball and the sun is back again and ruining my life i feel like what i've been doing the whole day is trying to push clouds in front of the sun even though i like the sun if i'm hiding under an umbrella or in my car or in my house or something anyway so yeah this is how she turned out she's a bit drunk so it's like a little ballerina and it looks a lot better like when you hang it but when you set her down she just looks like she's drunk then i feel kind of bad because i've like dropped her a million times but look how pretty oh oh excuse me um hi uh yeah so it's cute and also this area because of the sun is like maximum shadow puppet area this is my rabbit mary mary easter why was i doing a santa voice where i don't know and yeah and hey hi just kidding um so yep this is how they turned out sorry i'm hyper hyper of the day i think i had too much sugar um so yeah they turned out like this i think they're cute they're shabby chic and they're all right and they for just things we pound land come on um all right anyway i hope you like these i'll have another video on sunday i upload every wednesday and sunday for the time being thank you so much to everybody who's so
