For many of us, the best part about Thanksgiving (aside from spending time with loved ones) is the food, and what better a way to show this than by adding a pie garland to your seasonal decor? One great thing about this pie garland is that it is easy to customize. I opted for apple, pumpkin, and chocolate pudding pie, all classics in my family, but if you have a different pie you'd like to include, such as cherry, all you need to do is use a different color of cardstock.
This craft is adapted from a craft by Martha Stewart. For her version, see this post.
Materials:
*1 sheet dark brown cardstock
*1 sheet light brown cardstock
*1 sheet orange cardstock
*2 sheets cream colored cardstock
*Scissors and pencil or die cutting machine
*Glue
*Hole punch
*Ribbon
*Large white pom poms
Directions:
*Use the template below to cut out 4 dark brown triangles, 4 light brown triangles, 4 orange triangles, and four cream colored lattice grids.
*Glue the lattice shapes over the light brown cardstock triangles.
*Punch holes in the top corners of each triangle and string the triangles onto the ribbon. Use a dab of glue to hold each triangle in place along the ribbon.
*Cut the cream colored cardstock into strips that are about 1/2" wide. Fold strips accordion style, making little handles at either end to use to attach the strips to the pies.
*Glue the ends as well as the bottoms of each fold to the pie shapes.
*Glue white pom poms to selected pieces of pie. Let dry.
*Once your garland is dry, it's ready for display.
