DIY Easy Painted Wood Riser Decoration
Materials needed
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
Start by applying your acrylic paint to your wooden plaque. Here is a quick tip, when applying your paint, add a little water to your paint to help thin it out. I did this to help give it a lighter appearance and a stained look as well.
Now you are ready to apply your paint to the leaf garland. I used a smaller paintbrush when applying the paint to each leaf. You can use a little water to help thin the paint out when applying it to the leaves. I decided to not thin the paint out when painting the leaves.
Next, using your paintbrush apply your paint to each of the mini pots.
After, take either wood glue or hot glue and begin to attach each pot to each corner of your wooden plaque. I decided to use wood glue because I wanted a stronger hold.
Your wood riser decoration is complete. I love how simple this was to create, and isn't it so pretty? I love how it turned out. This can be used to display a larger candle jar, or you can use it to display a potted plant.

DeleteWhat a fun craft! Stephanie, I love the use of those tiny flowerpots... I have some that I've had since I was in high school (grad. 1980) and I've never got rid of them because they are just too cute!! Anyway, so happy to feature your post at this past Wednesday's Share Your Style #389 for you. <3
