Introduction: "Stool" Sample Gag Gift
This is a fun pocket sized gift for you to make for the pranksters in your family ( or friends and co-workers)
Step 1: You Will Need
*dry branch about 1 1/2 wide & 1/4 inch thick
* 1/4 inch dowel
*paint or stain
*glue- E6000 and wood glue or Elmers
*medical specimen container - You might look a little funny asking for an extra one at your next doctors appointment but who cares lol.
*band saw with a jig, wood saw, or hack saw
Here is a link that sells the jars for only .29 cents each.
Step 2:
Simply cut your dowels to about 1 inch long and cut your pieces of branch to about 1/4 inch thick.(it wwill be a little easier to glue if you cut it at a slight angle-see pic)
Then glue them together to for a cute tiny stool. You can use E6000 , wood glue or Elmers. But you will need the E6000 for the next step.
Step 3:
Now just paint the stool in the color of your choice. You can use any paint that you want. (acrylic , can paint or even just spray paint)Let dry well. Use the E6000 and dab a little bit on the bottom of each stool leg , press down onto the "sample jar". once it is good and dry just wrap and give to your prankster friend. Just think of the laughs you will get. :)
Warning you may get a comparable gift next year. Lol. Have fun.

Nice idea. I might do that, but stain it instead of paint it :-)

Hmm, like the hydrogen atom that walked into a bar and said fill me up, I lost an electron.
And the bar tender asks: Are you positive ?

Other than maybe American Science & Surplus, where do you get the plastic containers? I mean, do you always get them from the doc (or don't you make that many.....I believe I have need of around 12-13 of these LOL).

:) I have only made about a few so far.But here is a link that I just found. Only 29 cents each. But I don't know if you have to buy 3000 or something. Lol. I hope this helps.
