At Glued To My Crafts, we are “yet again” inspired by a favorite dessert commonly found at the Thanksgiving table – APPLE PIE!
With Thanksgiving literally days away, it only seems fitting that we share this Paper Plate Apple Pie Slice Kids Craft idea in honor of the iconic baked treat and inspire YOU to get crafty with your child, before the BIG day!
Apple Pie Paper Plate Slice
It’s as simple as pie – promise! Using just a simple paper plate, tan paint, some craft yarn, paper and a little glue – you too can make it with your child in no time.
Best part of this paper plate apple pie slice craft is that it’s calorie free and you “make” it over & over again – on the fly & cheap without breaking out the mixer or turning on a stove!
And fun fact – my personal favorite embellishment in this apple pie kid craft is the yarn I used because when I first picked it up at Walmart, I instantly thought of a “crust” craft. Isn’t it crazy how these ideas come to me???
So friends… enough chit chat from me! Let’s bake up some crafty fun with our paper plate apple pie slice tutorial below!
Happy crafting my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished apple pie slice from a paper plate, on our Facebook page for us to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

Apple Pie Craft Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate {one per apple pie craft}
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Tan Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brush
* Loose Orange Craft Glitter
* School Glue
* Thick Tan Yarn
* Brown Colored Cardstock Paper
* White Cotton Balls
Directions:
* First cut your paper plate to resemble a pie slice. Think of a pizza slice shape.
* Discard the excess paper plate pieces.
* Now paint the paper plate piece slice completely tan with the craft paint.
* When done, and while the paint is still wet, go ahead and sprinkle some orange “cinnamon” on top.
* Set it aside.
* Next cut several short strands of tan yarn. This will be the “crust” of the piece.
* Put lines of glue on the painted paper plate pie piece, where you want your “crust” to lay.
* Lay the yarn strands on top of the glue.
* Add more glue if need be. Set aside.
* Grab the brown cardstock and scissors.
* Cut out several small squares for the outer rim pie crust.
* Now put a good layer of glue on the rim of the paper plate.
* Place the brown squares on top of the glue, along the rim, until completely covered.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Apple Pie Slice, glue a few white cotton balls in the center of the decorated paper plate {because every pie needs whipped cream!}
* Then let it dry completely in an undisturbed area, before displaying proudly!
