Stacey Solomon makes stunning garden shelves using old crates and a clever no-drill hack

Stacey Solomon has been keeping busy sprucing up her Essex home with crafty home made items. 

Her latest DIY project saw her create clever garden shelves using old crates, all while baby Rex enjoyed a splash in the pool.

The mum-of-three, 30, who's been delighting her 3.1 million Instagram followers with her home hacks, took to her stories to show exactly how she created the shelves.

She wrote: "Pickle is playing in the pool with Hoe (Joe), so I'm sitting in the garden trying to make shelves out of these old crates."

The crafty mum first intended to use the crates as plant beds, but hilariously admitted to being '"rubbish at growing anything," so decided to make the shelves instead.

Armed with empty crates and screw hooks, Stacey got to work on manually screwing in the hooks along one of the wood panels.



To hang the new shelves, Stacey used Command stick on hooks rather than drilling holes in the fence.

She admitted she hates drilling holes until she's certain the new fixture would remain in it's position.

The savvy mum shared a snap of the completed shelves, which were hung at different heights on the garden fence.

Inside, she placed some plants and a candle to decorate, while garden tools hung from the gold hooks.

Adding to the aesthetics of it all, Stacey sprayed the fence with the garden hose to pull off the stained wood effect, but admitted that painting the fence was definitely on her to-do list.

Maybe that will be her next DIY job? We can't wait to see the finished look.

Recently, Stacy made amazing bathroom shelf out of household ‘junk’ she found.

Plus, Stacey makes the most of her time at home by upcycling an old colander into a beautiful hanging plant pot.

And, she also transformed empty candles into DIY bird bath and feeder by gluing the glass jars to a timber chopping board.
