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