Woodland Animal Stools

Inspired by Brooke of Killer B Designs and the Toddler Animal Stools she built, I sought to create some animal stools for my 'alawa woodland collection. I changed the dimensions slightly, and made my own head and ear templates, then cut everything out with a jigsaw, and the 1x2 legs with a miter saw. I plan to sell them for $20 each within my community. I'm leaving the edges natural and unpainted, to coordinate items within the woodland collection and to show that each stool is made of solid wood. Without further ado, here are the animal friends! :)

Woodland Fox Stool



Woodland Raccoon Stool



Fox and Raccoon are friends


They will soon be joined by Fawn


And lastly, Bunny.


Any suggestions for improvement are welcome!

    Oh my goodness! These came out so lovely! I especially love the fawn. Good luck on selling (though you obviously won't need it!) I'm so excited to see my plans come to life in such a beautiful way :)

      Thank you for making the plans and ideas available through your blog, and for your well wishes! I'm both nervous and excited to start selling, but even a little extra income would be a great help to my family.
