SHE'S the Queen of DIY and Stacey Solomon has done it again - by creating her very own life-size Christmas decoration from scratch.

Deciding to take matters into her own hands, she made her very own using bargain buys, which included three buckets, some guttering and pipe insulation.
In a clip posted to Instagram, the mum-of-five shows the journey from beginning to end - and it's little surprise she's "proud" of the final results.
Alongside the video, she penned: "I made a giant nutcracker it’s taller than me & Joe & almost hits the ceiling.
"I actually love him - we’ve named him Neil! He’s made out of 3 buckets, some guttering & some pipe insulation - and he was SUPER easy."
