About 6 months ago, I came across a great wooden chair at Goodwill. $6.00=SOLD! Of course, I bought it in hopes to do something great with it. And...
It sat....and sat....and sat....and sat....until I finally got around to "doing something great with it."
The $6.00 chair taped and ready to be painted.
I painted the seat and back of the chair with some paint I had on hand.
Next, I printed off a stencil from the web. There are plenty to choose from and I tried to find my exact one, but couldn't. I printed it off on paper and then traced it onto card stock.
Once I had my stencil, I traced the pattern on the chair seat. Then, I carefully taped along the outside of my pencil markings. *Make sure not to cover the pencil lines so you can paint over them.
After taping, I painted the pattern.
Then, I carefully removed the tape. *I spot some lone pencil markings.
There you have it! A $6.00 Goodwill chair turned into something GREAT!
So cute!!!
