DIY Easy Painted Wood Riser Decoration

Create a stunning DIY painted wood riser decoration with this easy step-by-step guide. Elevate your home decor with a personalized touch that is simple and fun to make. 

Today I am sharing this easy DIY wood riser with all of you. We're taking the mini pots from Dollar Tree and adding them to this beautiful wood wreath design. The wood wreath decoration is an item I believe I purchased at Joann's. It comes unfinished. This craft is around 20 minutes and I will share all the details on creating your very own. 

DIY Easy Painted Wood Riser Decoration

Craft materials such as wood plaque, acrylic paint and wooden mini pots


Materials needed

One wood plaque

Four mini pots- I purchased these at Dollar Tree

Acrylic paint- I'm using Espresso and Celery

Wood glue or hot glue

Candle and faux floral are optional

Paintbrush

Wood plaque, acrylic paint, and paintbrush

Adding paint to the wooden plaque

To create a wonderful finish on your wooden plaque, start by applying acrylic paint. For a lighter and more stained appearance, try adding a small amount of water to the paint to thin it out. This quick tip is worth trying out.

After creating your leaf garland, it's time to start adding color. I suggest using a small paintbrush for each leaf. In case the paint is too thick, you can dilute it with a bit of water. Nevertheless, I opted not to dilute it when painting my leaves.

Adding paint to mini pots

Next, using your paintbrush apply your paint to each of the mini pots.

I decided to add some faux flowers and foliage. This is completely optional.

Your wooden riser decoration is complete! I'm delighted with how easy it was to make, and it's stunning, don't you think? I love how it looks. You could use it to showcase a big candle jar or a potted plant. In general, it's worth adding to any room.

Our Adventures.-The Denver Art Museum

We decided to take a day trip to explore the downtown Denver area. On this particular day, my husband and I were celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary and wanted to have a mini date that included time with the kids as well. Our adventure started with us eating at the Cheesecake Factory. We wanted to make sure our tummies were full before we took on this day trip. The food was amazing, and we just really enjoyed this time together.  The weather wasn't so cold, but we still made sure to bundle up in warm coats. The Denver Art Museum is located in the Civic Center of downtown Denver. I also learned that this museum is one of the largest art museums between the West Coast, and Chicago. -We learn something new each day. This was actually our first time visiting the art museum.  During our visit, we viewed some beautiful and very creative pieces of art.  This museum has 70,000 objects in the museum's collection. There are approximately 18,000 in the Nativ...
