Mini Wood Fall Bench

 Happy Wednesday! I hope you're all doing well. I've been organizing a lot lately and found some extra fence wood pieces my husband had cut for other projects. I wanted to make something simple, so I decided to create a mini fall wood bench. I love how it turned out! You'll only need a few materials and a smile on your face.


Video tutorial




Materials

Two wood sections, 6¼ inches -I'm using wood pickets that I cut down to size

Eight tumbling wood blocks-You can find a box at Dollar Tree

Paint-white and brown

Paintbrush

Wood glue

Optional-Mod Podge/Decorative napkin

Scissors to cut your napkin design to size


Start by applying paint to your two wood sections. I decided I wanted a white bench. 


Next, take your tumbling blocks and paint each one. You don't need to worry about the top and bottom sections of your blocks.


After that, take your blocks and glue them together. You will glue both pieces together. When you are finished, you will have a total of four legs.


Next, take your legs and use wood glue to attach them to the bottom wood section of your bench. Be sure to allow your wood legs to completely dry.


Take the second wood section and attach it to the bottom wood section. This will serve as the back of your bench. Apply a generous amount of wood glue, and wipe away any excess adhesive. Make sure to let the wood sections dry completely.


I decided to add a little brown paint to my bench. I added a few streaks here and there. 


You can choose to add Mod Podge and a decorative napkin to the back section of your bench. First, apply Mod Podge to the back of the bench, then place the decorative section of the napkin onto the Mod Podge. After that, apply another layer of Mod Podge over the napkin and smooth out any wrinkles. You can use a blow dryer to speed up the drying process.



Your mini Fall wood bench is complete and adorable! I hope that you enjoy this simple project. Be sure to let me know if you create your very own. I'll see you soon. Thank you so much for making it with me.

Celebrate in Style: DIY Patriotic Napkin Rings

Hey everyone! I hope you're doing well. Today, I want to share an easy DIY project. We're going to make patriotic napkin rings using just a few materials.

The great thing about this project is that it's easy and quick. I'll provide you with a materials list and a step-by-step tutorial.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...

How I Styled Six Fall Trays Using Simple Reused Decor

  This fall, I wanted to challenge myself to decorate with just a few simple items—things most of us already have tucked away in our craft bins. With one round tray, a Dollar Tree lantern, a battery‑operated LED candle, a handful of faux florals, and a mix of Dollar Tree pumpkins, I created six different autumn looks. Each one feels cozy, seasonal, and totally unique, all without buying a bunch of new décor. My goal was to show how versatile your everyday pieces can be. By swapping out colors, textures, and small accents, you can build fresh designs that fit your style and your space. Decorating Each Tray My First Tray: Classic Lantern & Autumn Florals For my first tray, I began by placing a round tray on a woven placemat to create a cozy base. Next, I placed the black lantern in the center and added a small LED candle inside. I figured this would provide a soft autumn glow that I love. I took yellow faux florals and arranged them around the lantern to brighten up the scene. To...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
