STACEY Solomon revamped her hanging egg chair using fake flowers and trailing ivy and it’s the perfect look for summer. 

The mum-of-three revealed she was giving the chair a makeover for her youngest son, Rex’s, first birthday. 

Stacey, from Essex, explained all her children, including Zachary, 11, and seven-year-old Leighton, get a special chair on their big day.

Chatting in one of her stories, she said: “The boys always have a birthday chair.

“The big boys like the armchair but this is Rex’s favourite chair so I’m just going to shove some flowers in it."

And even though she was decorating the chair for Rex, who she shares with Joe Swash, as he wouldn’t go down for a nap Stacey said he was going to “decorate the egg with me”.

Stacey’s temporary makeover is perfect for revamping your own chair for summer, and it couldn’t be easier to recreate. 

She said: “I really didn’t do much just threaded some fake ivy through all the holes and then pushed some flowers through.
