Easy As Pumpkin Pie!

This is an adorable idea!
It's a pumpkin pie thankful spinner.


 I saw it over at Parents.com
and knew that my boys would love to do this!

So, this is how we made ours...

SUPPLIES NEEDED:
 orangeish-brown paper
paper plate
scissors
a brad
distress ink/stain


 Trim the edge of a paper plate rim with scissors to make it scalloped, like pie crust. Then, we used distressing ink to stain the outside of our plate to resemble the color of crust. We found cute leftover Halloween paper that we used to make our "pumpkin pie" and we cut a circle to fit the center of the plate.


Cut a slice out of your pie so you can reveal what you are thankful for. Put the circle paper on top of your paper plate and poke a hole through the centers, then insert a brad through the holes.


Add "thankful for" lettering stickers to the top, and hand write what you are thankful for on the paper plate in each slice of pie as your spin your paper pie.


I am thankful for easy crafts,
 kids, and pumpkin pie!
