Easy peasy colorful FLISAT stool hack

DIY Flisat childrens stool rainbow kids stool

I love DIY projects and IKEA hacks ! Recently I went to IKEA, and let’s be honest, I went quite mental.

I can almost remember my hubby sighing with despair when he wondered: “Do we need all those stuff?”

“Yes of course, love. We DO. Load the car now.”

That’s the thing with IKEA, everything is awesome and there is absolutely no way you come back home with empty hands.

But I also like having unique furniture. So here comes my passion for IKEA Hacks!

So recently I decided to hack the little FLISAT stool and I’m super happy with the way it turned out. My little one just loves it.

Use a hand saw to cut each trivet where you marked it. For a nice result it needs to be perfectly straight.
