It’s never a bad idea to make a few extra seating options to have at home. Instead of going to local shops and looking for a style of stool that suits your preferences, take a look at this amazing and easy DIY opportunity! These stools are comfy, look unique, and are simple to make without the need for any special tools or equipment!

Why Go for DIY Stools

A DIY route is always a great option if you want to achieve a specific look that you’re unlikely to find in stores, and with minimal costs! Besides, a successful DIY project always fills the maker with pride and a sense of accomplishment. The secret behind a successful DIY project is patience, the right selection of materials, and not being afraid to get creative!

What’s Needed

To make one of these stunning stools, you will need seven 15-inch wood rounds that can be easily found in most hardware stores or craft stores and six wreath forms that are quite inexpensive. The stool will be held together by adhesive and the joints filled in with caulk. You will need the same application gun for both materials. Lastly, use faux stone spray paint and another type of spray paint with the color of your choice. On average, one can of spray paint covers 3-4 chairs.

The Step By Step Process

Take the first wood round and find its center. Add adhesive to one of the wreath forms and place it adhesive-side-down on the wood round, making sure that it’s centered. Put adhesive on the top side of the same wreath form and lay another wood round on top of it. It’s a good idea to use a level to make sure that the placements are straight. The recommended height is around 7 wood rounds, but you can add more if you want taller stools. Let it dry for 24 hours before caulking the joints and use the faux stone texture paint and spray paint once the caulk is dry.

Everything from the ‘90s has become retro. It’s a frightening thought for people who listened to “Freedom! ‘90” on their CD players, regretted the cancelation of My-So-Called Life, rented a VHS of Clueless from Blockbuster, danced to the “Macarena,” used public payphones often, and understood that Florida was a blue state. With over two decades since the Y2K scare, it is more than inevitable that these cultural touchstones have now been put out to pasture. Regarding ‘90s fashion trends, everything old is new again. Read on and find out more.

Minimalism

You could easily tell in the ‘80s that something was extremely expensive. It was a very in-your-face sense of luxury. The ‘90s were a reaction to that kind of opulence. Minimalism is a much more subtle version of luxury that requires someone who understands fashion to get it. You can easily take for example Calvin Klein’s minimalist looks that were already present in the collections by the late 1980s. So, this one is not a strictly ‘90s trend.

Luxury Revival Trend From the ‘90s

You begin to see overt labels and overt luxury wane a little bit in the early half of the decade. As you get into about 1995, beginning with Tom Ford for Gucci, he truly starts to make a splash by reviving a sleepy brand. It’s a period that many consider a revolving door for designers that take over at these established luxury houses: Givenchy, Dior, or Chloé. Luxury confirms itself, but it’s not in the way that people saw in the 1980s. Christian Lacroix was still very influential in the ‘90s but some could argue his opulent looks of the ‘80s helped define the decade.

Grunge

It was something that so quickly made its way into the mainstream and stayed there. It was a season and a blip in high fashion. It was just spring 1993 when people could see a little bit of the element of it before then and a little bit after. It was a look inspired by the hippies. Grunge has this sort of hippie influence.

Retro

In one of the seasons, Lacroix was doing 19th-century Belle Époque revivals. In the next season, there is a bit of the 1960s look in his work. Jean-Paul Gaultier showed corsets and flapper dresses. Vivienne Westwood, too, showed 18th-century corsets. It was a very quick change between vintage- or retro-inspired looks that indicates a sort of relentless.

Technology

As we move to the end of the 20th century, technology works its way in too. In some instances, this idea of what the Internet might look like was put onto a garment. One thing was interesting for sure – the Internet was only beginning to play a role in consumerism and fashion.
