A MUM has revealed how she created a feature “mermaid wall” for her daughter, using just three products from Poundland and B&M.
Taking to the Extreme Couponing And Bargains UK Facebook group, fellow mums have been going utterly wild for the creative DIY, after the mum revealed she spent less than £20.

“Mermaid feature wall, paint £14.99 from B&M (Dulux Proud Peacock),” she wrote on the group.
“Scales are made from wallpaper samples from B&M, B&Q and other bits I had already.
“I made a scale shape template and cut them all out.
“Wallpaper paste was £1.99 from B&M. Little circular mirror was £1 from Poundland.”
