Ceramic Garden Stools Adds a Touch of Quality Art to Your Backyard

A lot of people look at ceramic garden stools and think, "That must be the most expensive item I've ever seen." That's exactly what they are; expensive. However, the beautiful design that is characteristic of a ceramic garden stool can easily be reproduced for a fraction of the cost. Here's how you can do it.

First, decide on your color scheme. The standard color schemes are Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Pink, Lavender, Violet, Brown, and Black. The choice of colors should depend on the color of your walls, the amount of sunlight your garden receives, and the textures and materials you have in your garden. In addition, the amount of time you plan to spend in your garden will play a role in your color choices. You do not necessarily have to match all of your furnishings with the exact same color scheme, but it certainly makes things look more uniform and unified.

Secondly, check the piece for damage. Look closely at the legs. If they have holes or cracks, they probably won't last very long. Examine the back of the stool to see if it is peeling, cracked, or has discolored areas. If you do any kind of staining, now is the time to fix it.

Next, find a piece of tape, poster board, or another sticky surface to use as a stencil. Simply draw a stencil pattern using the colors you have chosen. Be sure that you include the accent color for the area underneath the blue stool. Remember to allow for the surrounding area to be covered in a contrasting color. This way, when you cover the area, the blue will pop out and be seen.

Cut out your stencil. This is where you will cut the shapes out of your clay. You should probably use a table saw to make the cuts, but a band saw will suffice if you have it. Glue the stencil to the back of your garden seats using blue construction paper and you are all set.

If you are having trouble finding Blue Mountain Potting Bench, you should be able to find them at your local Home Depot or Lowes warehouse. The price is reasonable, and these stools are beautiful. With a low-profile design, you can place them almost anywhere. If you choose to use ceramic garden stools instead of wooden stools, you will add yet another touch of quality craftsmanship to your backyard area.
