DIY Wood Riser with Floral Design

 Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well. Today, I'm excited to share a beautiful wood riser you can use to decorate your home. We'll be creating it using only a few materials, and for this project specifically, I'll be using the unfinished rectangle natural wood box from Walmart. I'll provide a detailed list of all required materials and step-by-step instructions.

DIY Wood Riser with Floral Design

Materials-Mod Podge, beads, decorative napkin

Materials

  • Unfinished rectangle natural wood box -6" x 8" x .75"
  • 3" peg people (these are used for the legs on the wooden riser)
  • Adhesive (I'm using Hot glue) You can also use E6000
  • Decorative floral napkin
  • Mod Podge
  • 7" One unpainted wood home word sign
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush

Acrylic paint and wooden frame

Applying paint to wood frame and home sign
Begin by applying paint to the wooden box and the home word sign. Mix two paint colors together and use them for the wooden box and home sign.

Scissors, decorative napkin and Mod Podge

Adding the decorative napkin and Mod Podge
Next, use scissors to cut out decorative pieces from your napkins that you will want to use in your design. I recommend using a floral design napkin if you want to achieve the same look. Cut out each flower and remove the second layer of the napkin.

Afterward, take each of your cut-out designs and apply Mod Podge to the inner surface of your wooden box. Add your decorative cut-out napkin design over the Mod Podge. Continue with the rest of the decorations. After adding your napkin pieces, apply a layer of Mod Podge over the top surface of each one.

Adding the peg legs to the wood frame
You're now ready to attach the peg legs to the bottom of your wooden box. If your wooden pegs were previously painted white, you can add paint to each peg or leave them as is. Apply a small amount of adhesive to the bottom of each peg and attach them to each corner of the wooden box.

Finally, add your home sign to the wood riser. I recommend adding the home sign at the back of the riser on top.

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...

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...

You can watch the full painting process here: Materials I Used small clay trinket dish acrylic paint (green base + floral colors) fine detail brush gold paint Mod Podge (glossy) This dish started out completely plain. I love pieces like this because they’re basically a blank canvas, no pressure, just play. I chose a soft green base coat to give the florals something cozy and calm to sit on. 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...
