Paint: personalized kids stool
It comes with a removable seat to reveal the perfect storage spot:
I took a basic Ikea SANSAD children’s stool:

Painted on lots of bright colored cars:
And painted the name:
To make a special personalized gift for a new baby boy:
And even though he’s just a baby this stool should last well into his childhood, here’s my 4 year old buddy boy trying it out:
Here’s how I painted the stool:
1. Print out name (I used Copse font 150 point).
Line up on one side piece and trace letters with ballpoint pen:
2. Paint on and inside the indent left behind from the pen.
I used DecoPaint pens for this project but you could easily use a small brush with acrylics.
After one coat of paint:
3. Tape off lines to make yellow stripes:
4. Draw basic car shape then place on side and trace with ballpoint pen:
5. Paint cars starting with windows, then body color, wheels and final details:
6. Spray clear gloss acrylic sealer.
