Pretty Princess Stool

Pretty Princess Stool - finished look

I spotted a little unfinished stool at Hobby Lobby yesterday for $14.99.   I really didn't pay that much - used my 40% coupon.


I spray painted the stool in a glossy plum color.


While the paint was drying, I cut out this crown and "Pretty Princess" font from Life's a Party Cricut cartridge.   Crown cut at 4 inches.   "Pretty Princess" font cut at 2 inches.


Once the stool dried, I applied the cuts to the stool with mod podge. Once mod podge dried, I applied stickles to the crown (for jewels) and Viva Decor to center of flowers. Flowers were cut at 2 inches from Accent Essentials Cricut cartridge.

Next morning:  I applied Clear Acrylic Gloss Coating.  Dries really fast - 2 minutes!


Finishing touches - hot pink tulle tied in bows around legs of stool.



And here is the final result.

Vulture Birthday Sign

Happy 65th Birthday Sign.


Vulture Sign created using Life's a Party Cricut cartridge.   "Happy 65th Birthday" font from Songbird Cricut cartridge.   I made the vulture as large as would fit on a 12 x 12 mat (10 inches).   Round background is a cake board.  I cut an 11" round circle and mounted it on front and back of cake board.
