A THRIFTY woman has completely transformed a plastic seat into a stunning velvet dining chair – all for a tiny £7.50.

Roxy Nimmiz, 27, a content creator from Kenya, wanted to purchase new accent seating for her home but found the options way too pricey.

Instead, she decided to get crafty and turn an old plastic chair into a statement piece instead – all on a tiny budget.

To get the job done, Roxy picked up some foam, adhesive glue and fabric materials from a local shop better getting to work.

Amazingly, the crafty DIY-er used cardboard to get the shape she wanted before glueing the foam on top to create extra padding.

Photos taken throughout the process then show Roxy laying the fabric on top, tufting it into the seat before adding some finishing touches.
