On your stools, get set, go!
-
Sawing: First, saw the tree trunk into approximately 45 cm long pieces, your stools. Of course, you can also make smaller or larger stools for children or NBA pros.
-
Sanding: Then sand the future seat surface of your tree trunk thoroughly. The surface must be dry and free of dust and grease.
- Luminous colors: Now apply the glow-in-the-dark paint to the trunk with a brush and also work in the recommended pure luminous pigments .
Finally, all you have to do is let the paint dry. To do this, simply leave it outside for a few hours (it shouldn't be raining!). And now you have a stool that's sure to be a hit at any garden party (even with a few beers in your mouth).Is DIY your world?
