Making Stools Out of Drywall

In this post, I’m going to share with you how to make a stool out of drywall using only 3 basic household tools:
a stanley knife, ruler and bottle of PVA glue.

The steps are based on a 1.2 x 2.4m sheet but it can also be made out of offcuts. We have also created a how-to video and downloadable instructions to help with the making process.

Stanley/ Craft Knife
Metre Ruler
PVA Glue

Ensure you score both sides of the drywall, before pressing harder and harder until the piece is removed. Also make sure you are alternating the side you are making the slot from so as to ensure the paper edge faces the floor in the final stool.

Ensure the top edge of the plaster is perfectly flat + smooth (you can do this by scraping the edge with a knife) before gluing the base to the top.

The stool is now completely finished and ready to be put to good use! Enjoy!
