The £3 hack leaves her windows looking effortless

Taking to her TikTok page, Jacqueline McCarthy, also known as @theglasgownest, shared the cheap hack she used to create a wintery snow village on her tenement windows.

Using a £3 chalk pen off of Amazon and some pictures she found on Pinterest, Jacqueline and her daughter Molly spent an afternoon creating the winter wonderland.

They used the pen to draw a village sky line along the bottom of her windows complete with a Christmas tree and falling snow.

And they decorated the top with drawn- on stringed up ornaments and snow flakes.

She captioned the video a reminder "Christmas decor doesn't have to be expensive to look cute."

She added: "My daughter and I did this o0n a quiet afternoon with a £3 chalk pen from #amazon and some #pinterest inspo pictures to guide us.
