Home Décor
DIY Farmhouse Riser
May
Hi friends and welcome to the backyard! I decided to do things differently and save the finished craft picture for last in this post.
We have some very simple materials for this project which you can switch in and out to suit your own custom decor.
Materials you will need:
- Bamboo Cutting Board (Dollar Tree)
- Wooden Circle
- Waverly Chalk Paint In The Color Plaster
- Home Decor Wax In The Color White Wax
- Paint Brush
- 10 Furniture Buttons (size to your liking)
- 7 Flat Bottom Wooden Beads (size to your liking)
- Small Glass Bottle
- Twine
- Hot Glue
- Flower
- Angel Figurine ( Dollar Tree) (figuring to your liking)
Let’s get started!
Step 1:
I painted my angel with chalk paint to give her a flat matte finish. This took two coats.
Step 2:
I brushed wax onto cutting board and 4 flat bottom wood beads to use as my legs. After letting them sit for 24 hours I removed excess wax with a dry cloth
Step 3:
I then painted my wooden circle, 3 flat bottom wooden beads, and 10 furniture buttons with plaster colored chalk paint.
Step 4:
When all items were dry I hot glued 3 flat bottom wood beads to my circle and 4 flat bottom wood beads to my cutting board
Step 5:
he last step was to decorate the top of my cutting board by hot gluing my 10 furniture buttons around the edge.
Step 6:
So that my small vase coordinated with my angel, I painted it with the same chalk paint, hot glued twine around the top, and added a flower sprig.
So we actually ended up creating 2 risers. The small riser our angel is sitting on would be great to use on any tier tray.
Our bamboo cutting board riser is perfect for jewelry on a nightstand or use the two together as shown here to decorate a guest bathroom or bedroom.
I hope you enjoyed this DIY and remember to always incorporate your own crafty personality into every project!
