“Thread around four to six balls on each pipe cleaner and then wrap the pipe cleaners around the ribbon tightly together.
“I made three garlands.”

In the video, she says: “Two ways to hack your Christmas tree this year.
“So you can instantly add height to any Christmas tree, no matter what.
“The Christmas tree by using a plant pot.
“Just pop the tree inside and look at the difference and you can fit more presents underneath.
“Now, I’ve wanted a bauble Garland for a couple of years now, but they’re so expensive.
“We’re talking about hundreds of pounds.
“Anyway, I thought I’m gonna make one.
“So I use some pipe cleaners and some balls from B&M because they’re mega cheap.
“And then I tied it around some ribbon and I just ran about 4 to 6 balls on each pipe cleaner and just kept tying and tying and tying.
“And then I use some zip ties to attach it to the tree.
“Anyway, I made your mum hacks and follow me for more.”
