The completed Our Nest is Best Pizza Pan Craft I just love these pizza pan crafts. This will be my second one. Everything is from the dollar tree except for my yard twigs. Hope you like it!

Total Time: 1.5 hours

Yield: 1

Source: Have seen many on line, but this is all mine.

Supplies:

1 Pizza pan
1 Placemat
1 oz Glue
3 Robin's eggs
1 oz Faux moss
2 Hot glue sticks
2 oz Green paint
1 Brush
4 oz Twigs
1 Mini grapevine wreath
24 in Scrap raffia
6 in Scrap ribbon
1 Plate for tracing.
1 Wire cutters
1 Scissors

Steps:

The placemats at the dollar tree often have a word or image that is just perfect for these pans. For this one, I got a circle out of the center, using a glass plate for a template. It comes to about 1/2 inch from covering the pan, so you have space for matching paint. I learned the hard way to put your hanger on before you paint, etc. While it doesn't show it, I did that sooner rather than later.

Once the center is cut, you need to paint "before" you glue the center down. This assures you don't get any paint on the placemat.

Adding "Our Nest Is Best" print to the center of the pizza pan.

Paint your edgings. I chose a complimentary color, but you can also use white, black, or any colors you want. These are the same photo but represent two different steps.

Glue the placemat down and weigh it with the plate, bags of glass nuggets, soup cans, etc. If you use regular glue, you will want to give it about an hour.

With the wire cutters, snip the twigs in approximate lengths to cover the edging area. I didn't want them to all go one way, so I began at the bottom and went up from there on each side. The hot glue is invaluable here.

A collection of twigs to use as a border.

Adding wooden pieces to the edge of the pizza pan.

As you can see by the supplies photo, I changed from corks to twigs. Now, I had already posted the little robins nest magnets I had done. So basically they were the mini grapevine wreaths, glued to a jar back. Then, I put the moss inside and glued the eggs onto it. This is what I used for the center piece. I put some raffia down and glued the nest onto it. N-JOY!!
