Quick and Easy Fall Theme Wood Riser

 Hi everyone! This weekend we had a cold front move through and honestly, I just wanted to stay in, take naps and drink coffee. Of course, that didn't happen, instead, I ended up at Hobby Lobby. While there, I found a few decorations to add to my newest wood riser that I created. I'm going to take you through some easy steps and help you create your very own simple fall-theme wood riser.  


Video tutorial




Materials

Wooden Square 5" x 5" Shadow Box (I purchased my wooden square at Michaels) Paint Eight wood tumbling blocks (You can find a pack at Dollar Tree) Wood glue Floral cutters Decorations I'm using One mini pumpkin cup Fall fillers One wood crow Faux fall leaves One battery-operated candle Faux fall floral


Start by applying paint to your wood square, and your wood tumbling blocks. When painting your blocks apply paint onto just the front and sides of each block.


Next,  take your wood glue and begin to glue your blocks together. You will glue two blocks together. When you are done you will end up with four wood legs total. I decided to glue them together to give my wood riser more support.


After, take your four wooden legs and add them to your wood square piece. I allowed the glue to set for about 10 minutes. 


This step is optional, you can add a few streaks onto your wood riser using a darker color. I used my espresso paint color when doing this.


All that is left is to decorate your wood riser. I added a few decorations I had on hand. I did purchase a bag of fall fillers, and a mini pumpkin cup at Hobby Lobby. They are currently marking down their fall decorations at 50% off.  





Your Fall-themed wood riser is now complete. I love how simple this was, and isn't it cute? I just love it. Thank you so much for stopping by and creating with me. I'll see you soon.

How I Styled 6 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 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. Watch the video tutorial 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...

Transforming a Dollar Tree Metal Home Sign with Paint

Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality. Watch the Video Tutorial Video tutorial  Materials Dollar Tree metal HOME sign (Crafter’s Square) Black FolkArt Matte Acrylic Paint Light green Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Coral Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Light pink paint Dark green Paintbrushes (flat and detail brushes) I started by applying a black base coat to the entire sign. Using a small, pointed-tip brush, I carefully reached all the tiny areas around the leaves and buds. I applied three coats of black paint, drying each layer with my heat tool. This step creates a clean, even surface and helps the top colors stand out beautifully. Next, I u...
