Stacey Solomon shares glimpse into Christmas with her children

Social media star Stacey showed off her attempts to give a plastic playhouse a makeover with her followers yesterday (December 23). Although plenty of her fans were wowed with her efforts, Stacey wasn’t so convinced.

She penned: “The girls’ Christmas present. Done. It’s not my finest work and there is so much I wanted to add but haven’t had the time. But in all honestly I know they’ll love it so much and I genuinely love making over and upcycling things for their presents.

It’s not my finest work and there is so much I wanted to add.

“I feel a part of them and their memory of it. Also, I’m excited to add a chimney and more character as we go along. I’ve also been crafting Minecraft presents for Rex because he wishes he could have the game but he can’t. So, I made makeshift real-life pickaxes and gem chests instead.”

Stacey’s followers react to her Christmas surprise

Meanwhile, a string of impressed social media users shared their praise in the comments. One said: “I love everything you do for them. Such an inspiration and chief crafter of the universe.”

Another added: “Wow that’s absolutely gorgeous. So dreamy. The girls will love it. Made with love by their crafty mama. Making it even more special.”

A third wrote: “You are such a lovely mum. I bet they will love that.”

Not to mention, Stacey and hubby Joe have six children between them, meaning Christmas is bound to be hectic!
