Here, Henderson shares a step-by-step guide for some fun and easy projects to try at home.

T-SHIRT YARN GARDEN CHAIR

1. Remove all mesh fabric.

2. Lightly sand down the metal and wipe down with sugar soap.

3. Prime with surface primer, do two coats (I recommend Rust-Oleum or PlastiKote).

4. Paint with spray paint (I recommend Kobra).

5. Wrap the T-shirt yarn (you can use shop bought or make your own using old T-shirts) around the frame. Start from either the top or bottom of the frame and loop over and under the frame, horizontally and vertically. Make sure you keep the tension tight. You might like to use two or three different shades of yarn to create your own colourful design.

WELLY BOOT PLANTERS

1. Clean wellies and remove any linings.

2. Drill 3-4 small holes into the rubber sole.

3. Prime with surface primer, do two coats (I recommend Rust-Oleum or PlastiKote).

4. Paint with either spray paint (I recommend Kobra) or an exterior paint (Valspar, Cuprinol and Ronseal all do weatherproof paint).

5. Seal with varnish (I recommend Rust-Oleum or PlastiKote).

6. Put some stones into the bottom of the boot for drainage, then fill with soil.

7. Pop some flowers inside: pansies, geraniums and begonias all work well. Have fun coming up with your own arrangement.

DECORATOR LADDERS SHELVING UNIT

1. Remove back of ladders.

2. Use an electric sander to get rid of any old paint.

3. Wipe down with sugar soap.

4. Paint with two coats of primer (I recommend using Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3).

5. Paint with top coat – a gloss or eggshell based paint work well.

6. If using lots of different colours, use frog tape to mask out areas.

7. Seal ladders with varnish (I recommend Polyvine decorators varnish).

8. Display shelves horizontally or vertically, both ways work really well.

FIREPLACE DISPLAY CABINET

1. Lightly sand down the fireplace to get rid of any little marks. If it’s a really old one check for woodworm and treat before painting.

2. Paint with two coats of primer (I recommend using Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3).

3. Paint with top coat – a chalky emulsion works really well on this type of furniture (I recommend Craig & Rose).

4. Seal with a wax (I recommend Rust-Oleum furniture finishing wax).

5. Cut out a piece of plyboard that measures the same size as the back of the surround and two MDF shelves that measure the inside width.

6. Attach wallpaper to plyboard using a paste brush, seam roller and paper paste. Draw a line down the centre point of the plyboard to ensure you match up your wallpaper design.

7. Screw in plyboard to the back of the surround.

8. Cut and fix three supporting MDF strips and screw in shelves.
