First Birthday Tutu Highchair
If you can believe it, my DAD sat in this Highchair…. Yes, this chair is about 70 years old!! When my grandma passed away last year I inherited this highchair. I knew someday I would do something awesome with it. My girlfriend's baby is turning one next month and I can't wait to surprise her with what I turned it into!!
Here is the after.....
I painted the high chair aqua blue using Webster’s Chalk Paint Powder. I love the color of Krylon’s Blue Ocean Breeze spray paint so I went to Home Depot and had them color match the cap of the spray paint. It was a perfect match. Then I added Webster’s Chalk Paint Powder to the Behr sample to make it chalk paint. After that I tore some strips of fabric and tulle and made a tutu for the chair for decoration. To find a great tutu tutorial visit Vermillion Rules. I got so caught up in the project I totally forgot to take most of the tutu pictures. I followed the tutu tutorial and then added strips of fabric.
I ripped the fabric to give it a more worn look instead of using scissors and I used a ribbon instead of elastic.
Last but not least I painted on some pink polka dots using a stencil with simple hot pink acrylic paint and Whallaah… a pretty new chair.

Is the paint non toxic on the tray? Would it hurt if food fell on the tray and the child ate it?

I only used this for a prop. I don't think i would put food on it.
