Valentine’s Rose Riser Craft

I made this Valentine’s Rose Riser on a Facebook Live and I plan to use as a candle riser in a little Valentine’s gathering.

Risers are such a simple craft to try yourself! I’ve got the Replay Video Tutorial on YouTube for you Below, along with Simpe Steps, & a Supply List of items I use in the video!

Here are some Simple Steps for Making this Valentine’s Rose Riser:

1. Paint the Wooden Plaque with Plaster Chalk Paint

3. Cut Rice Paper down to 8.5X11in so it’ll run through a printer..I have an HP InkJet Printer

5. Print Rose 8x10in RoserDesign onto Rice Paper
6. Lay Rice Paper Printable onto wood plaque over dried Mod Podge
7. Lay Teflon Sheet over printable

12. Wipe away excess wax with Baby Wipe
13. Apply Folk Art Brown Wax to wood candle holders
14. Wipe away excess wax with Baby Wipe
