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.

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...

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...

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...
