Mum makes her own wallpaper using copper paint and tape because she couldn’t find the perfect print

A CRAFTY mum decided to make her own stunning feature wall after she couldn’t find a wallpaper design she liked.

She used copper paint and frog tape to create the stunning effect - and it only cost her £30.

The mum wanted to spruce up the living room now she had some time on her hands, so rolled up her sleeves and got stuck into some DIY.

She sourced paint from B&M, going for a sleek copper and navy colour scheme.

Sharing her incredible transformation on , she said: “After seeing all your amazing efforts I went for it.

“Couldn't find the wallpaper I wanted and had a bit of time on my hands (not much kids are 4 and 6).”

Explaining how she created the look, she added: “Drew my design, copper painted it twice, frog taped, then 4 coats of blue.

“I finally got the look I wanted. All bought from B&M.

“Not sure on exact prices approx cost £30 still loads of paint left over for other projects.

“Now waiting on carpet and new sofa.”

Thousands of people have liked her transformation, asking her where she sourced her pieces from.

“Paint Johnstone copper and midnight navy b&m Wood. Light mango wood trade furniture.

“Light. Pagazzi Warrington. Cork mirror handmade (lots of wine was drunk).
