Despite the pair being 10 and 12 now, the mum decided to use the lockdown to organise the cards using frames from The Range, which cost just under £4 each. 

She cut out the cards in the shape of a hexagon, deciding to do it by hand using a stencil after finding hand punches were pricey. 

The mum shared her incredible creation to Facebook group , where her handiwork has racked up more than 3,600 likes. 

She said: “Not a purchase but, I made these from the congratulations cards received when my children were born.

“The frames were less than £4 from the range.”

Hundreds of mums have commented on the post, claiming they’ve been inspired to create something similar.
