Step 4. Print your PLAY stencil out. Tape it over contact paper and use an Xacto knife to cut out the letters.
Step 5. Stick the contact paper over the top of the stool, Paint white. Give it at last 3 coats of white.
Step 6. Carefully remove the contact paper after the white paint has dried. Spray a coat of wood varnish over the stool to protect the paint. That’s it!
