DIY Polkadot Stool

Have you guys been crazy over the gold sharpie madness like I have?? I've seen so many cute ideas on how to use a gold sharpie all over pinterest.

Well I thought if you can decorate dishware, walls and even your nails why not some furniture? It's easy, adorable,cheap, and doesn't take long to dry! So that's when I decided to attack my little ikea stool with some sharpie polka dots:)

 

 

 

 

 

I picked up this little stool for 14.99 at Ikea and you can find it here. Being the 4"11 shrimp I am I use it for EVERYTHING! I had painted it white before to brighten it up a bit.

 

 

 

 

So first you start with your supplies.

 

 

The hole punch I used is a size 1.5", but you could easily trace a bottle cap or something that has the size circle you want.

I just hole punched a piece of a cereal box then got to tracing.

 

 

I didn't strategically place them. I just eyeballed on what looked cool and confetti like.

Then just colored them in. This part was fun, but tricky making sure I didn't go outside the lines so be careful!

 

 

Just take your time and have fun. For only costing about $2 for the sharpie it was a nice, distracting craft.

I've been househunting lately which hasn't been as much fun as I hoped so it was nice to take my mind of it for awhile.

 

So why don't you add some polkadots to your life? Promise it will make ya feel better;)
