DIY Teacher Stool

July 8, 2018

DIY teacher stool

I’ve got a fun summer project for you today! A DIY teacher stool for the classroom! My mom found this stool the other day in someones bulk pick up pile and knew I would want it! Thanks mom!

Is anyone else obsessed with the cute Pete the Cat plush from Kohl’s? We grabbed one when we were doing a little back to school shopping the other day. When I got the stool, I just knew that I wanted to incorporate Pete.

This is what the stool looked like when I got it home. I little rough around the edges but nothing a little love could help with.

Supplies

wooden stool – the thrift store is a great place to find them

acrylic and/or chalk paint

paint brushes

clear coat spray paint

possibly need

sandpaper

wood filler

painters tape

First, I fixed up the seat of the stool with some wood filler, let it dry and then sanded to make it nice and smooth. My son helped me pick the colors. His favorite Pete book is Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes, so we took inspiration from the cover. He suggested painting the bottom red to look like Pete’s shoes and I love how it turned out! I am in no way a great drawer/painter but our friends at Artforkidshub.com helped  with a Pete the Cat tutorial.

I painted all of the stool and then used a pencil to draw in Pete. I then went back and painted him. Last I went back and outlined him with black. After the paint has dried, use a clear coat spray paint to seal it to help it stand up to the wear and tear it’ll get in the classroom.

I just LOVE how it turned out! I hope it gives you some inspiration to make a DIY teacher stool of your own!

See you next time!
