Thanksgiving or Autumn Pie Garland

     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.
