A DIY fan has revealed an upcycling hack which only cost £37 and has made a huge difference to her council home. Mrs Clarkes recently completed her transformation and took to TikTok to share a video of her work - which has since had over 90,000 views. She explained that using an upcycling trick managed to change the entire look of her hallway and bedrooms.
Mrs Clarkes, who is known as @mrsclarkescleaning on TikTok, captioned the video: “ Upcycling my old council house door using a £37 tool.” The video first shows plain white doors, with a silver handle, which appeared to go into a bedroom upstairs. Mrs Clarkes starts off by unscrewing the inside of the door before taking it off, and laying it outside in her garden.
