She turned two old space hoppers into giant gold bells to be included in her front door display – but not everyone was impressed.
Using gold spray paint she covered the Spider-Man toy and drew on the holes and lines, adding a red bow for a final touch.
Sharing a video of her creation, she wrote: “DIY Giant Christmas Bells for the Christmas door. So I carried on making bits for the front door today. Last year I made some giant baubles from the kids toy balls and I LOVED THEM.”
However, despite Stacey’s excitement, not everyone appreciated her creative genius.

“I’ve woken up this morning to a lot of you messaging me saying ‘Stace, your Christmas bells are s*** I’m laughing because I thought they were really good, and I was like ‘yeah, smashed it again, made some amazing Christmas bells'” she said on her story.
“And you lot are like ‘what is that Stacey, it’s s***’. It’s really tickled me”, the TV star laughed.
“Look, I think this is really a good lesson to learn. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, clearly, one. And two, not every craft is a winner. Not every craft looks amazing at the end of it.”
“And loads of you say to me, ‘Stace if I made that it would look rubbish, why do you make everything look so nice?'”
“Well, I don’t, clearly! Sometimes people love them and they work, and sometimes they don’t!” she laughed.

“I still stand by that when they are amongst all the other Christmas stuff at the front door, they’ll look good and they’ll make sense,”
“But to be honest I thought they looked good anyway so I’m obviously a bit delusional.”
Stacey recently showed fans how she created a giant nutcracker – saving herself hundreds of pounds.
The Sort Your Life Out host, 33, explained how every time she saw a giant nutcracker in the shops, it always came with an extortionate price tag.
Deciding to take matters into her own hands, she made her very own using bargain buys, which included three buckets, some guttering and pipe insulation.
In a clip posted to Instagram, the mum-of-five shows the journey from beginning to end – and it’s little surprise she’s “proud” of the final results.
Alongside the video, she penned: “I made a giant nutcracker it’s taller than me & Joe & almost hits the ceiling.
“I actually love him – we’ve named him Neil! He’s made out of 3 buckets, some guttering & some pipe insulation – and he was SUPER easy.”
She goes onto say that every time she sees a giant nutcracker “it’s hundreds of pounds or it looks sooo complicated.”
“So I hope this inspires anyone who wants to make one to grab a bucket and go for it,” she continued.
“I need to think of a way to weigh him down so he can go outside for the front door display this year.”
