The Simple Craft Supplies:

• Free Pie Outline Printable – Download download it on box.com
• White Cardstock Paper
• Color Printer
• Crayons, Coloring Pencils, Markers etc.
• Paper Craft Scissors
• Brown Colored Cardstock {one per craft, for the background}
• Gray Colored Cardstock Paper {for the dinner plate}
• Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
• Orange Washi Tape – any print or design you like!
• School Glue
• White Cotton Balls

Directions:

• First things first – go ahead and download the free blank pie design printable listed above.
• Print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need ONE print per craft. Feel free to print as many as you like though!
• Now grab your choice of coloring instrument and color in the “pie crust area” a light brown color.
• When done coloring, grab your rolls of orange washi tape.
• Start tearing off pieces of washi tape and placing them inside the pumpkin pie design {but not the crust} until it’s completely filled in. Since we are going to cut out the pie design in the next step, it’s ok to go over the edge slightly.
• Next, using your scissors, carefully trim out the pie design you just decorated, in the printable.
• Discard excess paper and set aside your pie cutout piece.
• Now grab a piece of brown cardstock {the background} as well as a gray piece of paper.
• Out of the gray cardstock, cut out a simple “plate” design. You want it slightly bigger than the pie shape.
• Secure that piece to the bottom of the larger, solid color. You now have your plate setting for your pie!
• Go ahead and secure the pie, in place, in the center of that.
• Finally – the last step. Add the whipped cream cotton balls with a little bit of school glue.
• And that’s it! If desired, add some other embellishments you see fit.
• Now display your beautiful washi tape pumpkin pie masterpiece proudly for ALL to see!
