"S" is for Stool

Paint: personalized kids stool




It comes with a removable seat to reveal the perfect storage spot:

Painted on lots of bright colored cars:



And painted the name:


To make a special personalized gift for a new baby boy:


And even though he's just a baby this stool should last well into his childhood, here's my 4 year old buddy boy trying it out:


Here's how I painted the stool:

1. Print out name (I used Copse font 150 point).
Line up on one side piece and trace letters with ballpoint pen:


2. Paint on and inside the indent left behind from the pen.
I used DecoPaint pens for this project but you could easily use a small brush with acrylics.


After one coat of paint:


3. Tape off lines to make yellow stripes:


4. Draw basic car shape then place on side and trace with ballpoint pen:


5. Paint cars starting with windows, then body color, wheels and final details:



6. Spray clear gloss acrylic sealer.
