I’m a mum and couldn’t afford a pricey £580 baby changing unit, so made my own using a bargain Ikea find & velcro tape
A MUM who couldn’t afford a pricey baby changing unit has revealed how she made one using Ikea bargains.
TikTok user @bumps.and.budgets uploaded a video showing how she bought a cheap chest of drawers from the Swedish retailer and transformed it in minutes.
She wrote: “Don’t waste money on a special changing dresser.
“Instead convert your @IKEA malm dresser with the help of double sided velcro tape. £100 vs £580.”
She showed how she had wanted a baby changing unit that cost £580 but it was out her budget.
The TikTok mum explained: “Instead buy a chest of drawers for £85, and John Lewis changing mat for £10 and Amazon Velcro tape for £5.99.

“Put it all together and you have a dresser with a changing mat that does not move for about £100.
