Craft a Foam Pumpkin Pie

You can make these fun foam pumpkin pies for any doll's holiday celebrations. I made these for our
 family's American Girl dolls to play with but you could just as easily cut them smaller for a 
Barbie Halloween or Thanksgiving Day dinner.

Steps for cutting both slices of foam pumpkin pie 
and a whole pumpkin pie if your dolls prefer it.

       Our dolls are getting ready for both Halloween and Thanksgiving by preparing a few homemade pumpkin pies fresh baked from their kitchen this year. 

       We have even acquired some lovely china dishes for the occasions! Read below to learn how to make similar pies yourself.

Supply List:

• orange craft foam sheet
• Q-tip cotton swabs
• brown paper bag
• brown cardboard
• hot glue gun and hot glue
• white craft glue
• pinking shears 

Step-by-Step Directions: 

1. First you will need to draw and cut out a pie wedge shape. Trace this onto your orange foam sheet.
2. Cut out at least four identical shapes and then glue and stack them together.
3. Cut a long narrow piece of foam to attach to the side of your faux pumpkin pie slice on both sides of the pie. 
4. The back side of the pie wedge doesn't need to be covered with a foam strip because you will glue the back side of the cut cardboard here.
5. Cut a pie crust from clean brown cardboard. You will need a wedge shape for the bottom of the pie slice and a side piece of crust from the cardboard as well. I clipped a ruffle into the side crust to add a bit of detail. (see number 5. right)
6. I also cut four foam circles and one cardboard circle to stack together into the shape of an entire foam pumpkin pie.
7. Then I wrapped brown paper around the edge of the whole pie and attached it neatly with craft glue. I also cut a ruffle around the upper end of the pie with pinking shears to create a ruffle. Then I used the tip of my regular scissors to punch a wholes into my pie pieces in order to glue the tips of Q-tips into these. The Q-tips act as our pie's whip cream.
