DIY projects can be a great distraction at the best of times – but in lockdown, they're the only thing stopping us going stir crazy.

Proving she's a girl after our own hearts, Stacey Solomon has been using this time to give a few corners of her home TLC – and now she's created an amazing beauty storage station out of things she already owned.

Earlier this week, the mum-of-three made a stunning set of garden shelves using crates she had lying around in her garage.

Yesterday the star decided to turn the last broken crate from that set into a chic storage station for her haircare bits.

Sharing a step-by-step tutorial on her Instagram stories, Stacey started by covering up the scuffed, broken sides with a layer of TipEx.

She wrote: "Soo I'm keeping my mind busy, trying to make something to hold all my hair bits and bobs.

"This old crate was in the garage, it's a bit broken so I'm using TipEx to cover it."

Once the crate was a uniform shade of white, Stacey then screwed gold hooks into the side and attached a Command hook to her wall to hang it up.

With the crate turned on its side, Stacey hung her hairdryer, comb and brush off the bottom hooks.

She then placed her different hairdryer heads in the crate along with some hairbands and styling products. And it looks SO satisfying.

Proudly posting before-and-after photos of her efforts, Stacey wrote: "It's not perfect but it's MUCH better."

Earlier this week, Stacey admitted that the coronavirus crisis is making her "feel teary all the time".

Cradling baby son Rex, the 30-year-old Loose Women star told her followers she felt "terrible" for being so emotional given how much other people were struggling.

She explained: "Joe's gone to get baby milk because we ran out and I am going to have to do something because I just feel on the brink of tears all the time."

Giggling unexpectedly, Stacey wrote on the Instagram post: "I don't know why I'm laughing. It's got to be hormones or the moon.

"Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like you're welling up all the time for NO REASON what so ever?

"And then you feel terrible for feeling teary when there are so many people in the world in such awful circumstances I have no reason to be teary what so ever."
