Hi everyone. 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. 

Supplies

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

Step 1: Applying Paint to the Wooden Plaque

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.

Step 2: Applying Paint to the Leaf Garland

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.

Step 3: Adding Paint to the Mini Pots

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

Step 4: Attaching Wooden Pots to Wooden Plaque

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. 

Step 5: Adding Faux Flowers

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

Step 6:

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. Thank you for stopping by.
