DIY: time out stool

So in our nw home I have had a  hard time with the "time out" spot. So as I was walking through Michael's NOT looking for a time out stool I came across this CUTE stool. I just felt it was "screaming" set your misbehaving children on me. So of course like all sane people I listened to the stool and proceded to purchase it. Took it home and this is what turned out.   

 Supplies:
1. A stool
2. Modge Podge ( here is a great recipe for homemade: http://doityourselfdivas.blogspot.com/2011/09/diy-mod-podge.html )
3. Acrylic Paint, for lettering, I used black.
4. Letter stencil or Cricit.
5. Scrapbook cardstock, 1 sheet


Begin creativeness: Trace top of stool onto cardstock, then cut out. Next Modge Podge, the top of stool, then the back of the card stock and lay flat onto the top of the stool, Smoothing evenly ensuring there are no air bubbles. Next, seal the top with a thin coat of modge podge. After it has dried trace what you would like it to say.
Use the paint to go over the words you traced. Admire your skills. Lastly after it has dried COMPLETELY, 24 hrs, seal with a light coat of Modge Podge. Now explain to your little Angels how you NEVER want to have to use your beautiful creation.
