A MUM decided to spruce up her laundry pile – by shaping it into a Christmas tree and adding a star on top.
With December 25 around the corner, mum-of-three Jessi Roberts grabbed a Christmas decoration lying around and popped it on top of her laundry load to disguise it.
Now resembling a Christmas tree made out of clothes, she shared her handiwork on her Instagram page, @sincerelymumsy.
Jessi, from Australia, said it was the perfect excuse to avoid using the washing machine over the festive season.
She said: “The best way to avoid doing the washing – turn it into a Christmas tree.
“It’s free. I’ll wash this after Christmas or maybe the ‘elf on the shelf’ can help me.”
Her snap was later shared to Facebook page Budget101, where its racked up nearly 9,000 likes.
Fellow parents have found the Christmas-clothes tree
hilarious, vowing to do the same in their house.
One person said: “My type of Christmas tree.”
Another wrote: “Christmas on a budget.”
A third commented: “This will be my tree.”
Someone else joked: “I could make a forest of Christmas
trees.”
Plus upside down Christmas trees are the latest bonkers trend to take over this December.
Meanwhile Argos is selling half Christmas trees and they’re perfect for people with pets.
