T shirt transfer Stool


I have had this stool since I went to my first auction and just got around to the transformation 


The gold cover had to go, but I thought the legs were nice and surprise...I did not paint them white!


I first tried using my vintage rubber stamps, but when I laid the fabric over...Nope I didn't like it.   If at first you don't succeed....


...Try, try, again!  I used a graphic from Graphics Fairy and applied it with T shirt Transfer paper.  A little tip here, I always think an enclosed design looks best when using T shirt transfer paper.


As opposed to using word graphics where you can see the transfer paper in between the letters or design.  I explain it in detail on my

In keeping with never throwing anything out, this is the crochet edge of a vintage table cloth, even though the fabric of the table cloth was shot I still bought it just for the beautiful crochet 


The fabric was a $1.50 linen shower curtain from the Ikea sale bin.  The crochet trim was applied with Fabri -Tac, a glue from craft stores

Billie was driving me crazy today,  half of the pictures I took were of Billies, butt, tail, or face!
She's so darn cute I had to forgive her!


I put the stool in my booth at Orange Tree and priced it at $38.00

Mark your calendars for my Dress Form Linky Party February 7-13

I had a few people ask if the party was for any size dress form?  YES, little ones, big ones, pin cushion, all dress forms are welcome! Here is my post on where to buy inexpensive dress forms

Happy Creating!

    This little stool is so darling.
    I do the same thing when buying used linens. I will purchase something for the lace even if the rest of the piece is wasted. Sometimes you can't beat it for a buck!
    great tip on the t-shirt transfer paper, too.

    I think Billie may be hoping that lovely stool is just for her. Darn, it's gone before she can even nap on it.
    Great job and I really love the lace. I have to keep my eyes open when I next hit the IKEA store.

    Nice piece, Carol- as always! I'm sure it will FLY out of your booth with a $38 price tag too!

    Thanks Carol. I thought something was wrong. My comments were way down and the only way I can see the comments is to click on the actual post on my sidebar. I thought the area was just looking that way to me.
    I did think my comments were down but figured it was because I had been away a while. I now believe the only comments I am getting are the ones who are visiting from parties where I have linked the specific post.
    I have checked my settings and they appear fine. I will try to contact blogspot. That should be fun.
    Thanks again for the heads up about what the public is seeing.
    Blessings, Ginger

    That's a wonderful makeover. I love the crochet that you salvaged from the tablecloth. I need to be much MUCH more vigilant about finding stuff like that.

    Dynamite! what a totally brilliant idea. My craft chair needs a new cushion, and I now know just what to do! (I've been hunting for The Right One for a couple of months, lol).

    Hugs and Happy Pink Saturday!

    Very cool! It looks fab. I have the same problem with my photo assistant my 3 yr old grandson. He always wants me to take his pic too or wants to sit in my lap and stick his fingers in the pix. I treasure every moment!
