Instructions
- Even though the fabric of the stool was less than desirable, I knew that it had good bones. So first I stripped it down to nothing, knowing that I could give it new life.
- Then I broke out my favorite spray paint—Krylon Dual.If ever anyone could love a spray paint, this is it. This stuff is seriously amazing. You can’t mess up using it!I sprayed a good coat all over my stool.Then I decided those big wooden sides were just calling for a stencil.
- You can use your Cricut to design and cut your stencil for your stool. You can upload an SVG to Design Space or design right in the application.Feel free to use stencil vinyl, regular vinyl in any color, or even contact paper.See how to make your own stencil with a Cricut here.
- Once you have your design, cut it from stencil vinyl or even a stencil film to make a reusable stencil. Click make it in Design Space. Then pick the type of material you are using for the correct cut settings.Cut the material with your Cricut.If you are using stencil vinyl, make sure to weed any parts that you want to paint on your caddy. If you are using stencil film, the stencil is ready for painting!
- Then I reupholstered the stool with a coffee sack. I really like this simple one with just a stripe down the center.
- See elegant next to rustic—just lovely!
