STACEY Solomon has created a DIY bird bath and feeder using empty candle pots - and it's actually really simple.

The mum-of-three, who's been delighting her 3.1 million Instagram followers with her home hacks, did her latest project while 10-month-old son Rex was napping yesterday.

Posting on her stories, the Loose Women panellist said: "While the pickle is asleep and the boys have a break I'm going to make something out of my empty candle pots!

"Left these soaking all night now peeling off the labels. Flying them to an old chopping board we don't use."

Armed with four used containers, and a wooden chopping board, Stacey stuck them on with a glue gun before drilling a hole through the board.

She then showed off the finished job, which is perfect for summer and is attached to her garden fence.

Stacey, who turned the biggest candle into a makeshift bath and filled the others with nuts and seeds, said: "Keep spilling the water trying to fill the bird bath.

"Ok it's not a work of art but it's better than an unused chopping board and empty candles. Hoe (partner Joe Swash) really messed up my candles."

Stacey also revealed she buys her candles from - where they cost from £22.50.

She said: "I buy @sevenseventeenuk candles all the time because they smell amazing but more importantly they are a small business and some profits from each candle go to @pandas_uk which is a charity close to my heart.

"Both are struggling at the moment."

SevenSeventeen shared Stacey's post, gushing: "The best recycling of our candle jars yet! Thank you @staceysolomon!"

Stacey previously showed off her clever animal-shaped sandwiches for the kids and revealed her nifty trick to get them perfect.
