How do you make the Pretend Food Pumpkin Pie?
First, remove the metal spring from the wooden clothespins.
Line up three full clothespins on your work surface, to create a wedge shape. Attach the wooden clothespin pieces together with a glue gun and glue sticks. If you’re not sure how it should look, just use the photo above.
Paint the front and all the sides of the clothespin pumpkin pie wedge with burnt orange acrylic craft paint. Let it completely dry.
If you don’t have burnt orange acrylic craft paint, mix a bit of brown paint with orange paint to deepen the tone.
Trace the pattern onto tan craft felt with a marker. Cut out the crust patterns with scissors, cutting inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project.
Attach the felt crust to the bottom of the clothespin pumpkin pie wedge with a glue gun and glue sticks. Apply additional glue to the tops of the clothespins and then fold the scalloped edge up and around to look like the fluted edge of a pie crust.
To finish your pumpkin pie slices, attach a white pom pom to the top center of the wedge with a glue gun and glue sticks.
This is perfect for kids to serve in their play kitchen. But, you could also use this craft to make Pumpkin Pie slices for a Thanksgiving place card or even a cute garland. It’s the perfect size for a tiered tray decoration.
This pie has no calories and there will be no leftovers!
