We whipped up these paper lemon tart pie boxes for Pi Day a few weeks ago. If you had seen our Instagram stories that day, you would have seen me pretending to eat these! This was a spur-of-the-moment craft, but we thought you might have liked to make these pie boxes, too. So today, we're sharing the template along with the instructions.

Easy Peasy Pie Box

These paper lemon tart pie boxes are super cute and easy to make. You can cut our template by hand or use your cutting machine–whatever you prefer! Once you have everything ready, just follow our instructions below.

This is a great craft if you're hosting an event involving pie or some other yummy dessert. Just think how much your guests will love to take home a delicious slice of pie in their own adorable pie box! You could also craft them to use as party decor. While the design is based on a lemon tart pie, you can always use these boxes for any pie (or cake!).

Also, if you're looking for more pie box designs, we made this pumpkin pie slice box a while back for Thanksgiving. Want to see some new pie box designs? Let us know what you're looking for, and we'll add it to our list of DIY craft projects to make. Now treat yourself to some pie! ~ Lia and team

Materials

Instructions

  1. Download the pie box template below.
  2. Cut and fold according to the template.
  3. Glue the tabs for the three corners inside the box's top and then the bottom.
  4. Glue the rectangle "crust" piece onto the back of the yellow box top.
  5. Glue the "crust" top to the back edge of the yellow box, slightly overlaping the edge.
  6. For the whipped cream, fold along the lines with the petals inward inward. 
  7. Then, overlap each small bump on the spiral toward the center, pushing down lightly in the center to “lock” the pieces into place with the little notches.
  8. Glue the whipped cream on the box with the lemon slices tucked under. The puff will pop up a bit, and ta-da, it’s done!
  9. Fill the box with your treat and slide on the lid.
