SHE couldn't afford to shell out on a whole new garden furniture set.

So Mads came up with a budget way to make one herself, for less than £100.

Wooden pallets formed the basis of the benches, with Mads explaining she picked the majority up from Facebook marketplace – with a bonus extra one from a B&Q delivery.

"We're making some benches with wooden pallets," she said in her TikTok video.

"We filled the gaps in with featherboards (fence panels).

"Basically this cost sweet f**k all and if you do a good job of it you're onto a winner really."

They ended up making three benches, each consisting of two pallets on the bottom and one at the back.

The extra pallet, which was bright blue, worked well as a coffee table at the front.

And to make things a bit more cosy, Mads added some cushions, which she got from Asda for £36 as they are two for £12.

"I think in total this cost us less than £100 and that's including all the cushions," she concluded.

"Love to see it".

People were quick to comment on Mads' transformation, with one writing: "Genuine question! Could ya get a splinter in ya bum?"

"Hahaha probs!" she replied.

Others shared their own suggestions for making the furniture even better, and more comfy.

"You could buy those giant dog beds as cushions to put on the pallets! They work so well," one wrote.

To which Mads replied: "What an amazing idea. I never thought of this!

"They are waterproof too usually!"

"I used cot bed mattresses on mine works amazing," another wrote.

While someone else commented: "My mum did exactly this! If you can, try sticking tiles to the top of the table and painting the chairs a matching colour, helps bring it all together."
