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.

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.  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 acrylic paints and started...

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. 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 used a light green paint t...
