Spruce up a plain wooden children’s stool in a playful way with a little paint. This is a fantastic way to customize a children’s room and add a fun splash of color! Add a playful word as we did here. You can even customize with your child’s name as a personalized option.

MATERIALS:

– Interior semi-gloss paint in the color of your choice and white color (we created a custom aqua color at the paint store)

– Drop cloth

– Paint brushes

– Contact paper

– PLAY stencil (download free printable)

– Masking tape or painter’s tape

– Xacto knife

– Clear wood varnish spray

– Unfinished wooden children’s stool

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1. Wipe off any dust from your unfinished wooden stool. Tape off the ends of the legs with tape.

Step 2. Paint the stool in the color of your choice. Give it at least two coats. Allow to dry fully.

Step 3. Take the tape off the bottom legs and use tape to mask off the top. Paint bottom legs white. Give it at least two coats.

Step 4. Print your PLAY stencil out. Tape it over contact paper and use an Xacto knife to cut out the letters.

Step 5. Stick the contact paper over the top of the stool, Paint white. Give it at last 3 coats of white.

Step 6. Carefully remove the contact paper after the white paint has dried. Spray a coat of wood varnish over the stool to protect the paint. That’s it!
