DIY Cute And Customizable Wall Art With A Dollar Tree Kitchen Essential

It's no secret that Dollar Tree is home to hidden deals on home essentials and rotating seasonal decor that won't break the bank. But if you're willing to get a little creative with your hauls, you'll find ample opportunities for easy and affordable Dollar Tree DIYs that will add a rustic touch to your home. Take a little time strolling down Dollar Tree's kitchen essentials aisle, and you might find all the supplies you need for your next at-home project are right at your fingertips — like a DIY wall hanging using a pizza pan as the base. 

Everyday items like pizza pans and wall calendars can be transformed into chic wall art that's been customized to match your home's style. You can use these Dollar Tree finds alongside other basic crafting supplies to create accent art featuring one of your favorite animals, or a luscious landscape complete with silk flowers. This DIY is so versatile that the world is your oyster, and if oysters are your thing, you can incorporate them into your Dollar Tree wall art, too. 

This straightforward and affordable Dollar Tree decor hack can give any room a high-end look for less.  To begin, you'll need a metal pizza pan from Dollar Tree, a calendar with images that you like enough to hang on your wall, an X-Acto knife, a hole punch, Mod Podge glue, and any other accessories you'd like to include to give your art extra depth or texture. Here is how you can make your very own Dollar Tree DIY wall art and customize it to match your home's existing interior design. 

To begin, you'll want to clean your pizza pan to remove any dust or debris, and peel off any stickers that were put on by the store. Next, flip through your calendar to find images or designs that call out to you. This image will serve as the focal point of your wall art, so you want it to be large enough to make an impact. It also helps you choose the other elements of the artwork, including the paint color for the pizza pan and any embellishments that you want to add.

Paint the pan with the background color you want, and let it dry. Center the image on the pizza pan, and carefully trim any excess edges that exceed the size of the pan using the X-Acto knife. Once you're happy with your image and its placement, you're ready to glue it down. Apply Mod Podge glue to the pan, press the image down, and smooth out any air bubbles or ripples. Then, apply another layer of glue over it.

Once the glue is dry, you can hot glue down any other accessories around the edge to make a border or on the pizza pan itself. This might include stones, fake flowers, shells, ribbons, or fabrics to add texture, fill in gaps, and make it more visually interesting. Finally, use a heavy-duty hole punch, like a We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile, to create holes for hanging on the edge of your pan. Depending on your taste and the overall aesthetic of your final product, you can thread rustic rope, colorful ribbons, or even a metal chain through the pizza pan to hang the DIY on hooks screwed into your wall.

The best way to customize this DIY project so that it can be effortlessly incorporated into your home is by looking at your home's existing interior design. If you have a rustic farmhouse kitchen, you could consider using calendar art that features a farm animal, and add chicken wire, rope, or fake eggs to complete the piece. If you want to opt for a more sophisticated, refined piece, you can find calendars featuring Renaissance and Impressionist paintings and add strings of fake pearls or plush fabrics, like velvet, to elevate the DIY look. If you're going for a more subtle, minimalist look, you can forgo the calendar image altogether and just play with color and texture. Experiment with using multiple colors of paint or geometric shapes that add contrast and give the DIY a more modern feel.

This DIY is also great for seasonal and holiday decor that can be made with other affordable Dollar Tree supplies. Dollar Tree typically has a rotating section of seasonal supplies for upcoming holidays that can be easily incorporated into this DIY to add a touch of festivity to your home's design. Whether the pizza pan wall art is just gracing your walls for a season, or it's a more permanent fixture in your room, the most important thing is that it matches the overall vibe and aesthetic that already exists in your home.
