Hello Friends,

I’ve been seeing crafters create some awesome things with Dollar Tree pizza pans and placemats; and I thought I would give it a try. The placemat I chose to use is this beautiful muted blue color that reminded me of the ocean. So I thought it would be UNIQUE to combine a beachy look with a farmhouse look. Well, as it turns out, “coastal farmhouse” is a THING! I had no idea. So I decided to do a series of coastal farmhouse DIY crafts, beginning with this one. So follow along to see what I created!

Supply list

  • placemat and pizza pan from Dollar Tree
  • three bundles of nautical rope
  • coordinating ribbon
  • faux floral and foliage
  • coastal accessories
  • scissors
  • E6000 or some other glue
  • glue gun
  • wire
  • zip ties

To begin this project, cut the placemat in a circle to fit the pizza pan. The edges will be covered by the nautical rope so if the circle isn’t exact, don’t be too worried. Glue to the pizza pan with E6000 or some other glue. Elmer’s glue would be fine too. Hot glue might melt the plastic placemat so I wouldn’t use that.

While the glue is drying, tie the three lengths of nautical together with a zip-tie. The zip tie will be covered in the final project so any color will do. Trim the end of the zip tie.

Braid the nautical rope into a fairly tight braid.

Continue braiding until it will fit around the perimeter of the pizza pan and tie off with another zip tie. Cut the ends of the nautical rope off close to the second zip tie.

Using the hot glue gun, attach the nautical rope braid around the edge of the pizza pan to create a “wreath”. Be sure the two ends with the zip ties are at the top.

Tie a bow with ribbon of neutral colors to coordinate with the nautical rope. Tie the ribbon together with wire or another zip tie. Glue to the top, covering the zip ties.

Glue in faux floral, foliage, and coastal accessories. (Starfish and eucalyptus are from Dollar Tree, seashells I had already, and ribbon from Michaels)

I just LOVE how this project turned out. I think that “Coastal Farmhouse” will be my FAVORITE decor style this summer! I hope I’ve inspired you to try to create something like this for your home.

What do you think of this decor style? Let me know.

Happy Crafting!
