Easy Autumn Leaf Wood Riser | Using Dollar Tree Wooden Leaves
Hello! I'm so happy that you decided to stop by. I hope all is well. Today we are creating an Autumn leaf wood riser. I purchased a pack of wooden leaves and wood square blocks from my local Dollar Tree. I wasn't sure what I was going to create with them. I found a piece of scrap wood in my garage and I figured I would create a wood riser with a wood leaf design. This is a simple craft and is great for beginners.
Video tutorial
Materials
One scrap wood section -The size of the one I am using is 7¾ x 3½
Paint-I'm using espresso for my riser and red for my wooden leaves
Four wood square pieces-Purchased a pack at Dollar Tree (These are being used for the legs on the wood riser)
Wooden leaves-Purchased a pack at Dollar Tree
I am using 6 leaves. Depending on the size of the wood you use, you could end up using more or less
Paintbrush
Hot glue
Faux fall floral or leaves
Floral cutters
Start by taking your paint and applying it onto your scrap wood and wood square pieces. Set them aside and allow them to completely dry.
Next, take your wooden leaves and apply paint to the front and back sides of each leaf. Allow each leaf to fully dry. If you are wanting to cover the holes on each leaf, you could use some wood putty. Add your wood putty before painting, gently sand it and then apply your paint.
After, take your wood square pieces and begin to glue them onto the bottom of your wood section. Apply just a little hot glue onto each square piece. Add them to each corner of your wood section.
Take your wooden leaves and begin to glue them around your wood riser.
You are now ready to add your floral. I decided to add my faux Autumn leaves to my wood riser. I used my floral cutters and cut off three sections of my leaves. I placed my candles onto my wood riser and then added my leaves around them.
Your Autumn fall leaf wood riser is complete. This makes a perfect centerpiece. You can add candles, or a smaller vase with flowers. Thank you so much for stopping by and creating with me. I'll see you soon.
Pat, thank you so much! I really appreciate you stopping by. Yes, definitely check out your Dollar store. I am sure you will be able to find some wooden leaves.

Today I’m sharing a soft and delicate spring wreath that comes together beautifully with just a few simple supplies. I’m using a beaded wood wreath as my base, along with faux yellow roses, pink artificial wildflowers, and a bit of foliage to bring everything to life. This project is perfect if you’re looking to add a gentle pop of color and a touch of spring charm to your home. Video tutorial Supplies You’ll Need Beaded wood wreath Faux yellow roses Pink artificial wildflowers Faux foliage Floral/wire cutters Craft wire Trim Your Florals I started by using my floral cutters to trim the stems of each flower. Make sure the stems are short enough to fit nicely against the wreath, but long enough to secure them with wire. Adjust the length to suit your design and the level of fullness you want in your wreath. I began by cutting my yellow roses first. Prepare Your Craft Wire and Attach the Roses After I trimmed the roses, I cut small sections of craft wire. These will be u...
Hi everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. I am patiently waiting for Fall to arrive. Fall is my favorite season of them all. I love the golden leaves, hot apple cider by the fire pit, sitting out in the evenings roasting marshmallows. It is simply the best for me. Do you have a favorite season? What do you enjoy about it? Today I am sharing a quick upcycle craft. I decided to use my glass Oui yogurt jars. I love these little jars and what a perfect way to reuse them. I will show you how to decorate these jars using mod podge, and acrylic paint. We will add faux flowers to each glass jar as well.

Each jar needed around three coats of paint. I used acrylic chalk pai...

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating your blossom branch tree.

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! 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 achieve th...
Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Do any of you have any plastic containers at home? I recently finished a product and after cleaning the container, I wondered what I could reuse it for. I decided to make a tissue holder. It's a simple project and a great way to reuse a plastic container with a lid. I'll guide you through each step and provide some suggestions. If you're ready, let's make your personalized tissue holder. Video tutorial Materials: - Plastic container - Decorative paper or paper bag - Acrylic paint - Scissors - Hot glue - Paintbrush - Craft knife (You may also need sandpaper and floral cutters or other snips) Begin by applying several coats of acrylic paint with a paintbrush, allowing each coat to dry. Next, use scissors to cut out the decorative sections you want for your container. I'm using a decorative paper bag I bought in a pack at my local Dollar Tree. After cutting out each decorative section, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge w...
