What is needed:

Let’s grab your paintbrushes, channel your inner artist, and let get crafting!

Step One – Painting

Here you will paint both plaques the desired color of your choice. Here i wanted to stick with that weathered chic look using my chalk paint in white. I brushed on a good amount on he top but left the sides showing some of the wood.

Step Two – Sealing

After the paint was dry on both plaques, i then came in with my Mod Podge. This will help protect the surface from scratches.

Here you are able to really see how I left the sides. I love this look as it just adds more character to the item itself.

Step Three – Add the details

This step, i came in with the 3/4 inch wooden balls. I left them as their natural unfinished look. This I really felt gave it that chic, farmhouse vibe.

I hot glued the wooden balls in place along the whole edge of one of the wooden plaques. Now for extra hold. You can use gorilla glue and outline the whole edge of one of the plaques. Then come in and hot glue as well. This will help with a quick glue and then also add extra long lasting hold.

Step Four – Create the base

After the 3/4 inch wooden balls have all dried into place. We want to finish the base and place the second painted plaque on top. Here i went through with the gorilla glue and dabbed each ball with a nice pea size. Then on the corners, I added a line of hot glue. This will help hold in place while the gorilla glue dries.

Now you have a completed firm base for your riser!

Step Five – Create the feet

Here i grabbed 4 of the 1-1/2 inch wooden balls. I went through and painted them with the same white chalk paint.

After they were all dry, i then took the gorilla and hot glue gun to help adhere the feet to the bottom plaque.

There you have it! Your chic farmhouse riser is complete. Whether you place it on your dining table, kitchen counter, or even as a centerpiece on your living room coffee table, this farmhouse riser is guaranteed to steal the show!
