VINTAGE CAMP STOOL - AFTER
I have had several vintage camp stools over the years.
Many were still adorned with the original cloth and in good shape......this one was not so lucky!
BEFORE
This is a quick and easy way to turn an old camp stool into a fun piece for your home.
#1-Remove the old canvas and measure the dimensions for your new seat.
#2-You can stain or paint the wooden base.
I used Cottage Paint Antique Wax.
#3-Cut your canvas twill (adding extra for side and end hems) the size of the old base fabric.
Fold under and sew a basic hem on all 4 sides.
#4-The Fun Part!-Stencil the design of your choice on the fabric with acrylic craft paint.
(This is a large houndstooth design from The Stencil Closet on Etsy.)
Let your first section dry and continue to stencil until you have the fabric painted as desired.
#5-Using a staple gun attach the canvas to each end. I also used small tacks for the ends
since I made the canvas larger than the leg openings.
The variations on this project are endless...go out and create!
