Pretty Princess Stool
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.
