WE ALL like to think we're a bit of a pro when it comes to DIY around the home.

But more often than not, we end up with uneven paint jobs, bubbled wallpaper and furniture that's missing a screw or two.

Luckily, one DIY whizz has revealed a clever trick to ensure you have neatly painted walls everytime.

So if you're someone who ends up going over the plug sockets then keep reading.

Harriet Lansbury, a stylist by day and builder by night, shared the simple hack on her TikTok account.

And it's perfect if you always make a mess painting and hate using masking tape to create seamless lines.

She said: "Got sick of masking tape when priming the skirting so I found a naughty little hack. Please don’t tell."

Harriet demonstrated the simple hack on the border of her wall using a wallpaper scrapping tool.

She takes the tool and places it up against the wall where the border meets it.

The DIY whizz then applies her primer using the tool to act as a barrier and stop it form going onto the walls.

Although it may be simple, it definitely will save DIYers lots of time by not having to stick masking tape around the walls.

And viewers were seriously impressed, one wrote: "Are you kidding me?! Genius."

Harriet replied: "Took me three rooms to work out this hack. Love it.2

Another person commented: "I do this."
