DIY Take Away Pie Boxes
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.

Cutting a Pie Box with Craft Paper
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.
Assembling Take Away Pie Boxes
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.
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.
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.
Reinforce the joints on the take away pie boxes as needed, and stack them for your party.

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!

Glenda Shine says
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.

These are SO cute! I would absolutely send someone home with these! Maybe I’ll make some for thanksgiving!
Jessica Bordelon says
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!
Joann @ Woman In Real Life says
This is such a fun project and I love your idea of using two different versions of the word pie from the same cut. Crafty! Such a great prize.

Mrs. Fisher says
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!
Alyssa says
