She says, "I hacked 3 Benjamin stools using the decoupage technique. The first and second are made applying various pictures from old art magazines and for the third one, I used old comics."

Cool, but I wonder how durable this surface can be.

ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I'll be linking to these!
ReplyDeleteYeah...GREAT "hack"...you put a bunch of crap all over it. I bought a shelf and spraypainted it. Maybe I should send that in. Fantastic contribution. Gives me a lot of ideas.
ReplyDelete@anon: maybe some ideas as to how to express your scepticism about this hack (or this being a hack at all) in a somewhat more respectful and less offensive way would also have been great.
ReplyDeletecould have made your comment a fantastic contribution, too.
I think "anonymous" needs to cut back on the caffeine. To each his own, eh? Good job on the stools, BTW.

ReplyDeleteIts not for you to judge a hack, there is only one rule "the only rule is that the hack must involve at least an ikea item, however it is used. easy. peasy."
I rather enjoy this hack. I did something similar to a Grono lamp.
Hey, thanks for all the fun hacks you have given us. Am linking to your blog here - http://hellonetbaby.blogspot.com/2008/09/idea-ikea-plus-pocoyo.html
ReplyDeleteRegards
Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's proving creativity with its art design...
ReplyDeleteI really like it, but i think it would look better if you paint the inside white for example

I like the one with the Lichtenstein-style print! Are you planning on selling these? You could make it into a business. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for your kind words :D *i am thinking about the painting-white-the-inside idea, really seriously :**
ReplyDelete*It's not for sale, only for personal use :D (and maybe occasionaly, for a hand-made special gift)
*the surface is durable (thanks to the thick polish applied on the stool)

For those also having trouble with the WikiHow site, I've taken an extra-long screenshot of the How-To Decoupage page for reference:

Wow that stool was really great, very creative and unique.
ReplyDeleteYou have to love this Pop Art inspired hack. Very creative and it turned out great!
ReplyDeleteA friend is thinking of doing something similiar with an old table. I've sent the link to her for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteTrick out the inside/underside too!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought it might be interesting to use beer or wine labels for the decoupage, especially if you wanted to give it to a friend or drinking buddy.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks decoupage or modpodging (?) isn't effort has never taken the time to do it...I think this is great, I want to do this with my daughter and our Girl Scout troop!
