Mod Podge applied on round mini cutting board

Step 1: Applying Mod Podge on the cutting board

Begin by taking your paint brush and applying a layer of your Mod Podge onto the top surface of your cutting board.

Step 2: Applying the tissue paper

Place a layer of tissue paper on top of the Mod Podge and smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles.

After placing the tissue paper on top, use a paintbrush to apply a layer of Mod Podge. To speed up the drying process, use a heat gun or blow dryer on low heat.

After your Mod Podge has dried completely, use scissors to trim any excess tissue paper around the outer edges of your cutting board. Alternatively, you can use a sanding block. If you prefer to have a little tissue paper left around the outer edge, scissors are a good choice.

Once you have trimmed the excess paper, apply a layer of Mod Podge to the entire cutting board, including the outer edges. This will help to secure any remaining tissue paper. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely before using the cutting board.

Step 3: Applying acrylic paint to the cutting board and pegs

Now that you've prepared your project board, it's time to apply the paint. Start by using your purple paint and apply it around the outer section below the tissue paper. It's recommended to apply around two coats of paint for better coverage.

After that, flip your board and apply the purple paint to the bottom side of the board. Make sure to cover the entire bottom surface with the paint. Once you're done, set your board aside and let it dry completely.

Take your wooden pegs and apply two coats of white paint to fully cover each peg.

Step 4: Adding the pegs to the cutting board

After your wooden pegs have completely dried, flip your cutting board over and attach them using hot glue or any other adhesive you prefer. I used E6000 as my adhesive of choice. Wait for the pegs to dry, then flip the board over. Your mini wood riser is now complete and ready for use.

I'm using mine to display candles, but I'm curious to know what you plan on using yours for. Please leave a comment below and let me know!
