Wooden Riser DIY

I have been wanting some risers for awhile now. Everyplace I swear them they are out of my budget. I am always trying to stretch the dollar and do things myself. When I went into the garage, Don snatched this project from me quick! He has been wanting to do some wood working for awhile so...we put our heads together and came up with some super cute risers to share with yall! I took pictures of the process below. 

1. Decide the size you want by measuring the area you want it to be. You will also need 2 small pieces for the feet. We made our feet out of a 2x4 and cut it in half to a 2x2. Then take a hammer, a heavy chain, whatever you have and distress it. A great way to get out your aggressions. 😏🤣

2. Stain each piece separately. Wipe quickly and repeat process until you get the desired look you want. 

3. Measure in about an inch from the end of where you want the feet. We made the feet slightly shorter in width as well. 

4. Nail the feet in place. 

5. Decide where you want more stain and add until you like the look. We sanded off some stain in random places. 

6. Let stain dry for at least 4 hours. We put ours out in the sun. Then, style as you like! My hubby surprised me with another one he made late last night. He had some random furniture legs he made for the feet this time. 😍

I have so many uses for these. Arent they cute?!
