When one mum spotted lego murals online, she was keen to include it in her son’s bedroom.
But when she spotted the £50 price tag, she wasn’t as impressed.
Instead, she decided to recreate it herself, using just sheets of A4 paper.
The woman said her son loved building things with the bricks and she was keen to refresh his room – but the mural she looked at was above her budget.
So she picked up a pack of coloured sheets of A4 paper. She didn’t say which one she used, but you can get 100 sheets for £3.39 on Amazon.
She stuck them in a pattern on the wall to look like bricks.
Posting on the DIY on a budget group, she said: ‘So, my son’s Lego corner needed revamping, but with the price of Lego self-adhesive mural feature wall being in excess of £50 for the area I wanted to cover, I decided to improvise by using A4 sheets of coloured paper.
‘Not finished, but looking good so far.
‘(Somebody out there has probably done a better job, or used better materials no doubt) but my son is really happy, and that is all that matters.’
Other people loved the idea and commented saying they wanted to try it too.
One said: ‘What a brilliant and fantastic idea. Well done mummy. Glad your son loves it.’
Another added: ‘That’s such a good idea!! Might have to try this.’
And someone else gave a great tip to make it last even longer.
The group member said: ‘That’s a great idea, to make it last longer I would varnish over it with clear varnish u can wipe it down as well I just roller it on, I have used Wilkos mat varnish and I have to say it’s great.’
