DIY: IKEA Frosta Stool

Today I thought I'd share pictures of a DIY project I tackled this weekend: adding black and white stripes to an IKEA Frosta stool. This was a very easy project, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out:

First, I traced the top of the Frosta stool on a sheet of white contact paper and used blue painter's tape to mark the stripes:


Then I painted the "exposed" areas of the contact paper with black acrylic paint:


This is what the stool looked like before I placed the striped contact paper on top:


And this is what it looks like now: (!)





P.S. Please excuse the inconsistent quality of these pictures. I snapped these with my camera phone!
