This is such a great project and so easy! I did this years ago, and I can’t remember on what, but I loved the outcome! Thanks for sharing, you are so very talented!

How do you have room for one more thing bouncing around in your head? Let me know if you try this on a future project.

How smart!! I’ve never tried the pencil transfer method, but now that idea will be bouncing around in my head.

I love this technique. I have never tried it because it seemed to complicated, but with your little hinge trick, I think I might just have to give it a try.

In reply to Shirley Monts.

Shirley,

All very good questions. No, there was no bleeding or smearing of the maker or paint pen. I used a regular walnut stain such as Minwax. Letting the paint and marker dry overnight should be sufficient. Perhaps my didn’t bleed because I sanded it back a little before staining?

Turned out so cute! Questions: was there any problem with the sharpie or paint marker smearing when you stained the top of the stool? How long did you let it dry/cure before staining & what type of stain did you use?
