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.
