DIY fan transforms her tired patio tiles using £7 stencil and it looks amazing

WITH summer only a matter of weeks away, now is the perfect time to give any outdoor space you have a bit of a spruce up.

And if your patio tiles are looking a bit lacklustre, then you should take a leaf out of Tanya O'Kane's book.

The savvy DIY fan totally revamped her outdoor space using a single £7 stencil she ordered online.

Earlier this month, Tanya shared a video with the where she filmed her super-simple method which had BIG results.

To begin with, Tanya cleaned the tiles using Mrs Hinch's favourite Elbow Grease spray to get rid of any lingering dirt.

She then stuck the affordable stencil - which she bought from - on the cement tiles and slowly brushed the white paint over it.

After evenly painting over all the gaps, Tanya carefully removed the stencil and was left with a pretty geometric print.

As Tanya decided to cover her whole patio with the one stencil, she spread the DIY job over the Easter weekend.

Proudly posting a photo of her efforts on her , she added: "I got it done, I'm very happy with the outcome, it was worth it."

What's more, the foolproof stencils can be used all over the home, including bathroom tiles or kitchen floors.

And needless to say, Tanya's patio has inspired hundreds of others of DIY fans to give it a go.

Replying to the Facebook video, one user wrote: "What a fab idea. Hope you have more. Feel very inspired!"

Another added: "Looks great, well done!"
