I had an idea about making fun sayings to stencil onto log seats, so that people could have a good laugh before sitting down around the campfire. I wrote out a few phrases that I thought might be fun to see on the logs, and then made the phrases into stencils using my Cricut machine. I gathered some wood logs from our wood burning pile to jazz up a bit with my new stencils. In this post I’ll be sharing How to Make Fun Log Seats using Stencils.
First I sanded the tops of the logs a little with 120 grit just to smooth out any burs. Then I stenciled the 5 different campfire log seat phrase stencils I had cut with my Cricut.
I tried using black paint first, but it was too dark, so I had to stencil over the stumps again with white paint. Lastly, I applied 4 liberal coats of polyurethane on the tops of the logs to protect their new painted surface.

Here are the different phrases I thought to stencil on the campfire log seats; they’re available as Free SVG & JPEG File Bundles in my Resource Library which is a bonus to email subscribers.
What do you think of stenciling or painting fun sayings on campfire log seats? I think it would be something for friends and family to chuckle at before they sit down to enjoy hot cocoa, s’mores, and stories around the fire this fall.
Thanks so much for sharing this project How to Make Fun Log Seats using Stencils!
Keri these are adorable. I love, love the sayings on them. My fav has to be “Park it Here” but also the other one about the bark is very funny. What a cute idea. I used to have logs like these and we used them as seats by the fireside. And eventually we needed them for fire wood. I love this, it makes the perfect outdoor seating!
Thanks so much Mary!! We have a fire pit in our yard and nowhere to sit, so this was the perfect seating for us. 🙂
I adore everything about these, from the stencils and the words and the seating, everything. I’m smiling from ear to ear. Please may I come visit, I promise I’ll bring some marshmallows 😉
Thank you Michelle! Yes do come and visit!! I’ll have the graham crackers and chocolate waiting. 🙂
Fun!! I like the “I have bark but don’t bite”… – too cute;)
Thanks Tara!! That one’s my favorite too! 🙂
Aww these are so much fun Keri! How cool and the stencils are perfect for this! I need some logs now, cause I love this idea! I’d have them everywhere!!
Thank you Katrin! They would look pretty cool on your front patio.
Yes Keri, this is a awesome idea!
GREAT!
many greetings
Uwe
Thanks very much Uwe!
Those logs are so useful now! I guess it will be a party every time people have to choose one to seat, I hope they don’t end up fighting!
It’s a cool idea to upcycle them, thanks for sharing my transfer method for those who don’t have stencils.
Hahaha that would be funny Pili! I’m always glad to share your awesome content!! 🙂
