DIY Take Away Pie Boxes

Y’all who doesn’t love pie? What about pie to-go? what about pie to-go in cute little card stock boxes that you can make to match your event colours? Okay good, glad we’re on the same page. Also, before I go any further, I’m hosting a giveaway for a Cricut Explore Air 2 bundle, so if you’re squirming in your seat thinking about that, skip to the bottom for details, but don’t forget to come back and check out the post! Back to pie. I originally saw this little DIY in a Friendsgiving post on Brit.co // here // and they included a free printable for the box, so I uploaded it to my Cricut Design Space and got to work.

*Cricut sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible

Materials

  • 80 lb. Card stock
  • Vinyl in varying colours
  • Cricut Explore Air 2
  • Cricut Tools Basic Set
  • Cricut Cutting Mat Variety pack
  • Design Space account (free)
  • pie?

Don’t forget I’ve got a complete guide to the Cricut Explore Air 2 on the blog. You can read it // here //

Step 1: Upload this printable to your Design Space account and save it as a cut file. If you need any help figuring that you, you can check-out my tutorial // here //

 

Step 2: Using your Cricut Explore Air 2 (or just a pair of scissors – but trust me, it’s a million times faster with your Cricut) cut the outline of the take away pie box.

Step 3: You’ll need a ruler for this, or at least if you want clean lines. Using a ruler, fold the card stock along all the dotted lines in the graphic from Step 1.

Step 4: Using a glue stick, apply glue to the folded flaps and assemble. Make sure you hold eacb piece for a few seconds as you go to ensure that everything sticks.

Step 5: Cut a vinyl decal to apply to the take away pie box. I used the Gregory Font front dafont.com and wrote-up “pie” so feel free to use the image below for your own project.

The weeding may take a while with all the small cuts, but it’s worth it. You can also use the negative space from the word as a variation. Notice how there are two versions of “pie” below? It’s all from one cut yo.

Step 6: Reinforce the joints on the take away pie boxes as needed, and stack them for your party.

    I am a first-year teacher who loves to craft. I would use this awesome machine not only to help make my classroom an awesome place to be but also to make crafts at home too! The pie boxes would be a cute craft for mother’s day or a treat box!

    Ariel these are adorable! When I got married I wanted to have a table filled with different tables of pie instead of a wedding cake. My family thought I was crazy and I went with a wedding cake instead. These would be so cute for wedding pie take homes!

    I would love to win the Circuit!
    I was diagnosed in 2011 with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis,
    That is the rarest and most aggressive for of MS and the only type of MS that has no treatment.
    Before that I ran our family business while raising two of the most wonderful kids! My kids are just now in their 30’s and living lives of their own and I am already disabled. I can no longer work because of pain and slow destruction of my nervous system. I also can no longer drive so I am very isolated. Blogs like yours have inspired me to get crafty to enjoy my time and keep my cognitive skills working. However going from a highly paid job to living on disability is a BIG hit. It does not leave room for fun money. This would be an amazing gift and opportunity for me and I thank you for considering me to have this magic item.

    OmG! I would love to win an Explore to give to my wonderful Mother-In-Law! I purchased one for myself last October and thankfully so! I have been in and out of the hospital since then (my most recent surgery just 5 days ago) and on continual bed rest. I had never done papercrafting before, and I know had I not made this purchase, I would have gone completely crazy! She has become absolutely amazed by it, but on a fixed income is unable to afford one. Now that we are both disabled, it would be so great to work on projects with her! 🙂 Every year she knits hats and gloves for the needy, and I can only imagine what she could do with this as she is also a retired art and home economics teacher. This would be an absolute God send for her to receive! I only wish I could afford to purchase one for her myself!

    I make a “famous Apple pie” at least its famous with my family and friends! I would for sure make these super cute pie-to-go boxes as my first project if I won a cricut! I would host a party with friends to “cricut” some stuff. My cat is named cricket, I would have to make something for her too!
