Posting on her Instagram stories yesterday, while her youngest Rex napped, the mum-of-three admitted she had "hoarded (it) for 5 years".
Stacey said: "So while the pickle is napping... I'm going to try and turn this perfume I got for my 25th birthday that I've hoarded for 5 years into a vase.
"I love what it looks like and it's so special to me I didn't ever want to get rid of it but it's dirty and the last drop of perfume is stale so it needs a make up."
Stacey started by taking pliers to the spray part of the bottle, before scrubbing it with a kitchen sponge and funnelling some sweet smelling diffuser oil in.

She said: "Taking the sprayer off was the trickiest part - had to be gentle and patient.
"Then wiped it clean so I don't ruin the label. Refilled with some diffuser oil.
"Then I just measured and cut down some little fake flowers to put in. Easy but it makes such a difference."

Stacey then did a 'tap to make up' post - and showed the finished object lining her bathroom shelf.
She said: "I know it's not ingenious but I love it - it's so pretty and actually smells nice now."
