To get started, first turn your wood stool upside down and trace your patterned paper.

Using scissors, cut your paper down to the correct size. I cut an extra 1/4 inch off each side so I had a little bit of space between the paper and the edge, but you can cut it the full length if that’s what you want!

Do the same on the backside of your patterned paper, and then place the paper on your stool. Make your own

Use a plastic scraper to smooth out the surface to get rid of any air bubbles.

Add a coat of Mod Podge to the top of your stool and allow it to fully dry. Add a second coat if desired.
