This mini stool was a thrift store find. Unfortunately, I do not have any before photos. It was just a plain wooden brown.

Since I plan on using this pattern often this year I thought I'd do myself a favor and make a stencil which actually turned into two stencils. I like to make my stencils out of lampshade styrene. To see how, Click Here for a short description.
I'm happy with the finished product.


Aside from using this as a footstool, it could also work in a vignette. Creating vignettes is not my strong point, I just don't have the patience to arrange like-items with random items to create an eye-pleasing arrangement. I do enjoy vignettes others make.

Isn't this phone booth piggy bank adorable? Garage sale find. |
Or it could work as a plant stand...
...with a smaller pot or two to let the design show through.

These wooden cigar boxes also received a Union Jack makeover, but more on those at a later date.
Hopefully, I'll have more soon to show you!

Good idea to make stencils Audra - for your Union Jack. Short stools are great for displaying/raising a plant. Looking forward to see what you are going to share this year with your Union Jack ideas.

Stencils make everything so much easier! Reading your posts on stencils has helped me use them more efficiently (less paint bleeding under).
