Christmas presents!











These are for my niece and nephew. I was trying to decide what to make them and it hit me! They need stools for brushing their teeth, etc. Their mommy and daddy will like them too!








Lexi-




painted in orchid acrylic and decoupaged pink and blue butterflies. The details are so pretty, soft polka dots and cherry blossoms. On a few of the butterflies I put an irridescent glitter. Once I finished, I coated with three coats of sealer to protect the images and the glitter.




Jeremiah-




I mixed a sky blue and an electric blue together and got this color. I painted the base in the blue and the very top of the stool got brushed with a pearl teal color to go with the frogs. I then decoupaged the brightly colored tropical frogs and sealed with about three coats of sealant.
