Kmart shopper's $9 ‘genius’ wardrobe hack – see the unbelievable before and after!

It’s always great to read about the ways people like to get creative around their homes. Whether they’re gearing up for a big renovation or just sprucing things up over time, it's amazing just how far DIY home projects can go!

Recently, a savvy Kmart shopper surprised everyone when she revealed her unique wardrobe makeover using only one item.



A Kmart shopper posted her newest creation on Facebook – modern-looking wooden door handles for her white wardrobe made from mini lazy susans – and she's been praised for its unique design ever since.

‘The Kmart $9 mini lazy susan turned out to be the handles I have been dreaming of!’ She wrote in her caption.

The shopper explained how she wanted to give her white wardrobes a ‘new look’, so she bought four lazy susans and cut them in half to create semi-circles.

Using wood glue, she attached one-half to each side of the wardrobe door, so the two halves joined back together when the doors were closed.

The item that the shopper used only costs $9, however, it seems to be sold out as of writing. The full-sized lazy susan costs $20 at Kmart.



To complete the DIY task, she inserted a screw through the back of the door to attach her new handles.

Others questioned how she managed to get her fingers under the lazy susan to pull the doors open, and the shopper replied that the cupboard doors had a groove that let her reach behind the lazy susan. So this hack may not work for everyone.

Many were thrilled to discover the inexpensive and ‘clever’ hack.

‘Wow, looks awesome!’ Said one shopper.

While another joked: ‘Now that’s a hack and a half.’

‘Looks great,’ added a third.



This hack comes after other shoppers have shared their own DIY Christmas gifts and souvenirs that are perfect to give away this holiday season.

One great idea came from another Kmart shopper, who repurposed candles and a packet of napkins and turned them into a personalised gift. She cut the napkin and fit it around the candle, before ironing down the napkin to ‘stamp’ the design onto the wax.

some ppl will have multiple orgasms at anything as long as its broadcast on social media, looks garish un co ordinated and cheap not for me
 
Regardless of whether you like the look, this is the real meaning of the word ‘hack’ - using something for a different purpose than the original. Although why not just use the perfectly good word ‘tip’?
