After having a look around, she ended up taking a broken wooden cabinet from High Wycombe resident, Tracey, a 40-year-old Saudi Arabian rug from pensioner, Libby, and four wooden chairs from another local, Buddy.

Once she had got their permission to take their discarded belongings, she then told the audience what she had planned to turn the objects into.

The cabinet would be transformed into a terrarium, the rug would be turned into a travel bag, whilst the chairs would just need restoring.

She then explained that once they had been fixed up, they would all be sold and that the original holder of the item would receive a share of the profits.

In the end, the cabinet was sent to two Sophie Lawrence and Katie Stone, two sisters based in Folkstone, Kent, who specialise in the upcycling industry.

The rug stayed in Buckinghamshire, as they were sent to Marlow-based bag creator Neil Wragg to be transformed, whilst the chairs stayed with Jacqui in London.

After several days of craftsmanship, the finished product saw Tracey’s broken and bashed cabinet get transformed into a reptile-focused terrarium.

It boasted a new exterior, legs and handles, with it being unrecognisable.

The total cost was £275 to fix up with the tank being sold to a private buyer for £550, giving Tracey  £275 profit.

The rug, which was then repurposed into three ‘Mary Poppins’ style bags, was sold for £375 from a £210 budget.

This left Libby with £160, but the money was donated to Children in Need.
