What you do:

Base stool with Daisy Cream. Allow to dry and apply a second coat.

If desired, separate marbles by color and arrange in a pleasing design in the shape of the stool.

Following manufacturer's directions, apply adhesive to stool. Apply adhesive to flat surface of marble and glue in place on stool. Allow to dry overnight.

Mix grout with water according to manufacturer's directions. Wearing rubber gloves, apply grout over marbles and press into crevices with your fingers. Allow to set for 15 minutes.

Using damp sponge, wipe excess grout from surface. Clean grout from sponge. Allow to set another 15 minutes and repeat. Finish by polishing with a soft rag.
