If you’d like a more textured look, you can print the pie crust piece on tan cardstock instead.
How to Make the “Mom, You Are So Sweet!” Craft
1. Print the Templates
Print the pie slice template pieces on white cardstock.
The printable includes:
- Pie crust base
- Gingham pie filling layer

2. Cut Out the Pieces
Cut out the three parts of the craft:
- Pie crust base
- Gingham filling layer

Glue it onto the center of the gingham section.
For extra fun, take the photo with whipped cream or frosting on the child’s mouth to match the sweet pie theme!
