3. With the stool right side up, brush the top of the seat with a layer of Mod Podge.
4. Carefully place the paper onto the seat and use your X-Acto blade to cut off any overlapping paper from around the stool perimeter.
5. Use a wallpaper brush or burnishing tool to smooth the paper and remove any large air bubbles.
6. Cover the surface with a layer of Mod Podge and set the stool aside to dry.
