Let’s get started
Alright, let’s start this DIY project out by making the backing! I used 14 paint sticks for this backing – 12 side by side and 2 on the back to keep them together.
Lay your 12 paint sticks side by side vertically and use a ruler or a straight edge to keep them lined up perfectly. Then, hot glue 2 paint sticks horizontally across the paint sticks.
Make sure your paint sticks are fully secured together and then get ready to stain them! I used Dixie Belle Coffee Bean Chalk Paint and a wet wipe, but you can use whichever brown paint you prefer.
Dip the wet wipe into the brown paint, then spread it across the surface of your paint stick backing. The water on the wet wipes helps the wood absorb the paint and gives it a stained finish rather than a painted look.
If you apply too much paint to the wood, you can go back over the surface with a clean wet wipe to remove the excess paint. Once you’re finished staining the paint sticks, it is time to paint the wooden flower.

Next, you’re going to paint your large wooden flower white. I used Dixie Belle Fluff Chalk Paint, but again, you can use whichever white paint you prefer! The white paint is going to allow the decoupaged flowers to POP!
Allow you’re large flower to dry and work on the little flowers next. I used 5 little wooden flowers that I found at Michael’s! Start by separating the tissue paper plies.
If you don’t separate the plies, only the bottom ply will adhere to the wood when we decoupage, and the top ply may start to peel off the wood in the future. We don’t want that!
I laid the patterned tissue paper ply with the design down, then applied a coat of Mod Podge to each flower and pressed them down onto the tissue paper.
Allow the Mod Podge to dry, then trim the excess tissue paper from around each flower. I used scissors first, then went back over the edges with a sanding sponge to get as much excess tissue paper removed as I could.
One decoupaged flower will go on each petal of the large white flower. For the center, I painted a small wooden circle with Dixie Belle In The Navy Chalk Paint.
Once the flowers and the painted circle are finished and dry, hot glue them in place on the white flower. Lastly, you’re going to hot glue the large flower onto your stained paint stick backing.
