If you're looking to get stuck into the DIY yourself, you can nab your choice of spray paint from only £7 at B&Q.

In the next step, she takes a gold paper cup and uses a pair of scissors to cut off the rim of the cup. She continues by cutting vertical slits all around the bottom, bending every other slit and cutting each one accordingly to echo the look of the top of a traditional bauble. You can buy a pack of gold paper cups from as low as £2 from Amazon.

Stacey then reattaches the rim she originally cut off, glueing the two pieces together and finally, attaching the gold cup craft to the spray-painted balls to complete this DIY job. She closes off the TikTok excitedly exclaiming, 'Voila, giant baubles! They're the best thing I've ever seen! I love them!'

Fans fled to the comments, thoroughly impressed and praising the DIY, calling Stacey Solomon a 'literal genius' and saying they 'love these.'
