As I decorate for Easter in the family room, I am needing a cute riser to place a bunny on.  Taking a few Dollar Tree items, I made the perfect one, if you are interested in making one for yourself, keep on reading.  I do have the tutorial in a video as well, to watch you can go to either my Facebook page or my YouTube channel.

Riser Tutorial

• 2 wooden Crafter Square plaques.  I used the oval shape.
• 2 strands of Crafter Square string beads.  I used one string and one extra bead.
• 4 larger wooden beads, I had on hand.
• stain, paint, wood glue and hot glue.

Remove the sting from the cut outs.

Fill in the holes with painter’s putty, let dry.

Sand and wipe off all the sand dust with a damp cloth.

Give the two plaques one coat of stain.  I used Minwax, Special Walnut.

To give the pieces a weathered look, I dry brushed Ever Better Beige by Behr to the plaques.  Wiped with a damp cloth to soften the brush marks.

As the two plaques dry, I grabbed the beads to paint the Ever Better Beige by Behr to them.

I cut the beads off the string, in order to keep the holes facing up.

To one side of a plaque, add the smaller beads to the edge with wood glue and hot glue.

I glued the beads all around the plaque as close to the edge as possible.

I used a single bead I had on hand, painted it and placed it in the last space.

To the other plaque, I added the 4 larger beads to the bottom.

When the beads dry, I added more wood glue to the top of the small beads.

To the other plaque, added hot glue to the edge, working quickly.  Centered the two plaque to form a riser.

That’s it!  I love this little riser; it is perfect to highlight anything you might want to be the star of your setting.

Thanks for joining me today, I hope to inspire you with what I share.
