Christmas Chalkboard Wreath Supplies
- Pizza Pan (I got mine at Dollar Tree.)
- Chalkboard Paint (Found at Walmart or any craft store.
- 4-6 Sheets of Green Cardstock
- Holly Leaf Pattern (included)
- Glue Gun
- Small Red Ornaments (Found at Dollar Tree.)
- Ribbon
- Sand Paper
- Chalk
Christmas Chalkboard Wreath Instructions
- Lightly sand the pizza pan and wipe clean.
- Paint the center of the pan with chalkboard paint. I painted two coats. Let dry.
- Rub the side of a piece of chalk onto the chalkboard finish to prepare the surface. Wipe off with a dry cloth or eraser.
- Using this Holly Leaf pattern cut out approximately 40-50 leaves by tracing the pattern several times on the green paper. I was able to put two pieces of green card stock together to speed up the process.
- Fold each of the leaves in half lengthwise.
- Using a glue gun glue the holly leaves around the edge of the pan overlapping the leaves as shown in this picture.
- Continue gluing the first layer of holly leaves all the way around the edge of the pan.
- Start gluing the second layer of leaves overlapping them further apart on top of the first layer all the way around the edge.
- Once the leaves are attached bend the top leaves up to give a more three dimensional look.
- Attach two leaves at an angle to the wreath on the side.
- Glue three small red ornaments to form the holly berries.
- Glue a knotted ribbon underneath the berries.
- Add a loop of ribbon to the back of the pan to hang, if desired.
I really love how the wreath came out and it’s how I imagined it to be. I love when that happens. It’s also a super easy and inexpensive craft for all ages.

I am always looking at those pans at the dollar store and trying to come up with ideas for them, I love this! And I already have chalkboard paint on hand… #12DaysofChristmas2018
Love this idea! And you could change the word throughout the holiday! Or you could even have more than one of them scattered through the house, all have a different holiday related word.
