Thrifty woman makes epic personalised toy box for friend's son for just £20 with upcycled old trunk

PERSONALISED kids’ toys and furniture are all the rage at the moment, but they can be seriously pricey.

“Me and my mum re-decorated her room for her and she didn’t have much storage for any of her toys so I upcycled a toy box for her.Laura managed to find an old box on Facebook marketplace for £20“It was his first birthday in February and I wanted to get him something special that he can keep for years and grow up with.”

Laura then used three coats of plain white emulsion to cover the yellow and blue and then finished off with two coats of white eggshell paint to make it hard wearing and wipeable. "I cut the material to size for the foam and sewed it on to make a cover. I wanted to make the lid into a little seat for him to sit on and play with his toys or for his mum and dad to sit on to read him a story.
