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.

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 Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

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...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

I’ll show you how to turn a simple clay blank into a petite floral dish with a glossy finish that’s perfect for holding rings, earrings, and tiny treasures. It’s a small DIY that comes together quickly and adds a charming, whimsical touch to any space. Watch the Video Tutorial Want to See the Process? I filmed the whole thing!

Once the base was dry, I started building the design: stems and leaves first tiny pops of color for the flowers a thin black outline to make everything stand ou...
