Time out stools for the twins

My boys individually are a handful but you put them together and some days it’s all I can do to keep them from tearing down our house brick by brick! Of course this leads to a lot of time outs. I saw somewhere a few months ago a time out stool someone had made and thought that would be perfect for the boys! Of course I had to make two of them….

I bought the stools at Hobby Lobby. They were about $15.00 and I had a 40% coupon both times (bought them separately) so I paid about $9 each. I used paint and supplies I had on hand so each stool cost less than $10.

I primed them with Kiltz and painted them with paint samples I had on hand.

The green one is Ben Moore Potpourri Green mixed at Lowe’s and the yellow is Valspar Sorbet mixed at Lowe’s.

After painting them I used my Cricut and Make the Cut software to make a stencil. You can download the Make the Cut file I made here if you are interested.
