Instructions
Step 1: Paint the Pizza Pan
Start by painting the entire pizza pan with the white chalk paint. If you’re using acrylic paint, you may need multiple coats and a light sanding before applying the paint. Allow time between coats to ensure full coverage.
Step 2: Choose Calendar Page
Take out the picture for the month of December from the Farmhouse Locally Grown Calendar, or choose another month for a different holiday wreath. You can either tear it out or trace around it with a pen or pencil. Trim off any excess.
Step 3: Attach Calendar Page
Use mod podge or hot glue to attach the calendar page to the pizza pan. It’s essential to ensure it adheres well to the pan’s surface.
Step 4: Glue Jute Rope Border
Add a line of hot glue to the inner rim of the pizza pan and place the jute rope on top. Repeat this process around the entire inner section of the pizza pan. This rope will give your wreath a rustic touch.
Step 5: Tie a Bow
Create a simple bow about 4-5 inches wide with the red burlap ribbon. (See how to make a bow here.) Tie some twine in the center of the bow. Bonus: Add a spare button for extra rustic style!
Step 6: Add Greenery
Trim the stems and place the pine pieces onto the pizza pan where you want them and attach them with hot glue. Add a few red berries using hot glue. Attach the bow in between the pine pieces using hot glue.
Step 7: Add Hanging Loop
Cut a small piece of twine and hot glue it to the backside of the wreath, allowing you to hang it up with ease. Use a larger piece of leftover rope for a more visible wreath hanger. (You could also hang the pizza pan wreath using picture hanging strips.)
Your Dollar Tree pizza pan wreath is now complete and ready to spread holiday cheer!
More Easy Dollar Tree Pizza Pan Wreath Ideas
The best part about DIY projects is the opportunity to add your personal touch and creativity. Here are a few variations you can explore to make your Dollar Tree pizza pan wreath unique, for Christmas or another holiday.
- Color Palette: Instead of white chalk paint, you can choose a different base color that complements your existing decor. Consider festive shades like red, green, or even metallic gold. Or, use chalkboard paint to make a reusable message board wreath!
- Materials: While this tutorial uses specific Dollar Tree materials, feel free to experiment with other affordable items that catch your eye. The Dollar Tree is full of seasonal decorations and faux greenery that can be repurposed for this craft, or you likely have old calendars and other decor around the house.
- Additional Decorations: You can further embellish your wreath with ornaments, mini lights, or even personalized letters to spell out words other than “Joy,” such as “Noel” or “Love.” Pick up decals at Dollar Tree, or use a stencil for a patterned section or letters.
- Wreath Size: Dollar Tree offers various sizes of round pans. Depending on your preferences and available space, you can create smaller or larger wreaths to suit your needs.
- Ribbon Styles: Experiment with different ribbon textures and patterns to give your wreath a more personalized look. Make a stylish bow or a hand-tied “messy bow” with our tutorial here. Whether it’s burlap, satin, or plaid, there are many options in the ribbon section, or use a garland or string of wood beads instead.
- Focal Point: Instead of a calendar page, you can use a family photo, a cherished holiday quote, one of our free printables from our Free Printable Art Collection, or a beautiful piece of wrapping paper as the focal point of your wreath.

Common Questions about the Dollar Tree Pizza Pan Christmas Wreath
Here are some common questions that people often have about making the Dollar Tree Christmas Joy Wreath:
Do I need a Cricut to make this pizza pan wreath?
Nope! We made ours with all dollar store items and only a paint brush and hot glue gun – no specialty tools required. If you have a Cricut or Silhouette machine, though, you could cut custom names or words, which would be fun for gift ideas. Use permanent vinyl for a secure adhesion and transfer tape to get the decal in just the right spot.
How much will it cost to make a pizza pan wreath?
The Dollar Tree Christmas Joy Wreath is a budget-friendly project, around $12 in materials plus paint and a paint brush. Most of the materials can be found at the Dollar Tree for just a few dollars, and you may already have some basic crafting supplies on hand.
Can I use different paint for the wreath base?
Yes, you can use another kind of paint, like acrylic paint, if you don’t have white chalk paint. However, be prepared for multiple coats of paint and consider lightly sanding the pan before painting for better adhesion. Chalk paint sticks to surfaces better and often covers in one coat.
Where can I find the Farmhouse Locally Grown Calendar?
The Farmhouse Locally Grown Calendar is typically available at Dollar Tree stores around the holiday season, beginning in October. You can check your local Dollar Tree or similar stores for this specific calendar, or there may be some Dollar Tree calendars available at other sites online.
Can I make this pizza pan wreath with kids?
This project can be an enjoyable family activity, but it’s essential to supervise children when using hot glue guns. You can assign them tasks like painting, cutting, or decorating with safe materials. Let each child make a pizza pan sign for their own door!
How long does it take to complete the pizza pan wreath?
The Dollar Tree Christmas Joy Wreath is a relatively quick project and can usually be finished in under an hour, depending on your crafting experience and the drying time of the paint.
Now that you have answers to these common questions, you’re ready to embark on your Dollar Tree Christmas Joy Pizza Pan Wreath adventure!
