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!

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 is 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 craft is the yarn 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 tutorial below! Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Apple Pie Slice Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one per apple pie craft}
* Scissors
* Tan Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Orange Glitter
* School Glue
* Thick Tan Yarn {I found mine at Walmart}
* Brown Cardstock
* 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!

MAKE IT YOUR OWN – you can also skip the craft paint and use tissue paper instead for the “apple pie filling.”
