Easy Felt Pie Decoration

 Hello Readers. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It has all the warm fuzzy feelings and yummy foods.  It is November so that means Thanksgiving is coming to my part of the world soon. I wanted to decorate with that in mind and made this felt bunting to hang for the holiday. Pumpkin pie is a big part of Thanksgiving and fall in general. Let's celebrate with pie.  

 Pumpkin pie with whipped cream anyone?

Get out all your felt. Or go to the craft store and buy some felt pieces. You will need a lot of tan for the pie crust pieces. And orange for the pumpkin. You will want a bit of white for the whipped cream too. You can also make red-cherry, blue-blueberry or brown-chocolate pie. You can make whatever you like best.

 

I cut triangular pieces from the tan fabric for my pie crust. 

 

I wanted the tan pie crust pieces a bit larger than the colored "pie filling" pieces. That way the pie crust would peek out just a little.

 

I cut tan strips for the crimped crust around the edge of the pie. I cut these pieces about 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches long. It does not need to be exact, you can make it all fit when you glue the parts together. 

I used my hot glue gun to attach the triangles together. Hot glue guns can be very hot, mine is approximately the temperature of lava. Use caution. 

When I glued the crust to the edge of the pie piece I pinch or crimped it together as I glued it. I held it in place for a minute so the glue could set up. 

I traced and cut out some circles. 

 

 They were not very large, approximately 3 inches in diameter. These are going to make my whipped cream. 

 

I folded the white circles so that there was a point at the center. I glued the center of the circle to the piece of pie. You can use 2 circles to make a large sized dollop of whipped cream. 

 

When each piece of pie was done, I added them to one long string. 

 

I glued white ribbon across the back of each piece of pie.(Any ribbon or string will do.) I glued one after the other so that it would make a wide bunting to hang up. 

 

I added a bow in between each piece of pie because it seemed pretty. 

 

 The bows are just decorative. You can skip them if you want. 

 

The pie bunting is cute anywhere, over the mantel, in a classroom, in a kitchen window, or in this case in an office. Thank you for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
