Paper Plate Pie Craft
I’m not much of a baker. I’m a much better crafter. So instead of baking some pies for Thanksgiving, we’ll be going the crafty route with our Paper Plate Thanksgiving Pie Craft. It’s an easy and fun way to make a Pumpkin Pie Craft, as well as an Apple Pie Craft. Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll pick up a real pie or two. Store bought.
Now, I’m not a terrible baker. When I try, whatever I’m baking usually comes out tasting pretty good. I’ve never had a flat out fail. But there’s just so much measuring and ingredients, not to mention the mess. I’m usually pretty overwhelmed and overstimulated, as is. Crafting is so much calmer in my world.
Thanksgiving Paper Plate Pie Craft
For our Thanksgiving pies, you will need paper plates, acrylic paint in brown, tan, red, and orange, brown cardstock, cotton balls, scissors, and a glue stick.
Paper Plate Pies Craft Supplies Needed
- Paper plates
- Acrylic paint – brown, tan, red, orange
- Brown cardstock
- Cotton balls
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Thanksgiving Pie Craft Step by Step Directions
You will need 3 paper plates for each pie craft.
Start by painting the paper plates. Paint one plate brown, one tan, and the oher red or orange, depending on the pie you’re making. We’re making an apple pie craft in these directions. We didn’t have an actual tan paint, so we blended brown and a bit of white until we got the color we were looking for. Let the paint dry completely.
Once the paint is dry, cut a scalloped edge around the tan plate.
Cut about a half inch or so from around the edge of the red plate, too.
Then, layer and glue the tan plate inside the brown plate. Glue the red plate in the center of the tan plate.
Now, cut 4 strips from the width of a full sheet of brown cardstock.
Glue the strips in a hashtag pattern on top of the plates.
Finish off your Thanksgiving pie with a healthy dollop of cotton balls. Glue the cotton balls in place in the center of the plates.
Complete these steps for the orange pumpkin pie craft, too.
