Instructions
Prepare 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.
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.
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.
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.
Tie a Bow: Create a simple bow with the red burlap ribbon, which should be about 4-5 inches in length. Tie some twine in the center of the bow. Add a spare button for extra rustic style!
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.
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. (You could also hang the pizza pan wreath using picture hanging strips.)
