How to turn the seat into an animal face:
Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Take the children’s stool and place it with the seat on the gridded back of the Uni Matt sage green adhesive foil.
Step 2
Use the pencil to draw the outline of the seat onto the backing paper, draw a second outline with some allowance and then cut the foil piece to size.
Step 3
Now take the other adhesive foils and draw the shapes for the individual elements of the animal face on the respective foil back.
Step 4
Cut out the various foil elements for the animal face using the scissors.
Step 5
Next, remove the backing paper from the white foil piece for the animal snout and position the foil piece accordingly.
Step 6
Firmly press down the white piece of foil and then successively apply all the other foil elements for the animal face.
Step 7
Finally, remove the excess foil all around the edge of the seat.
Step 8
As an alternative to the black adhesive foil, you can also draw on the fine details of the animal face using a black permanent marker.
You’re done!

EXPERT ADVICE
Small air pockets can form, especially when covering larger surfaces – such as the top and side surfaces here. You can puncture these bubbles with a fine needle and then carefully smooth them out with the squeegee.
