Green Leaf and Gold Butterfly Wood Riser 


Materials for creating wood riser

Materials:

- One round wooden circle (any size will work)

- White acrylic paint

- Paintbrush

- Gold butterfly decals

- Green leaf napkin

- Mod Podge

- Four wooden legs (I'm using four peg dolls)

Acrylic paint, wood, and paintbrush

Begin by applying acrylic paint to the wooden circle. Allow the paint to dry completely.

Next, take a napkin and remove the second layer. Use scissors to cut out the design you want for your riser. If you don't want a straight-cut look, dampen the edges of the napkin with a little water to give it a worn look. Place the napkin where you want your design to go, and use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge over the design. Use a heat tool between each coat of Mod Podge.

After that, add butterfly decals to the design. Using adhesive, attach each wooden leg to the bottom of the riser.

Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely before placing items on your riser. Your riser is complete. You can place a candle jar, a soap bottle, or a perfume bottle on your wooden riser. It's a beautiful addition to any space. Thank you for visiting and creating with me.
