Pie Slice Box
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I love creating a gorgeous table for the holidays and like including all of the extras like different flavors of pie. All pies, from pumpkin pie to pecan pie, are on that buffet table and available to all.
As you can imagine, we don’t finish it and my waistline does not need it just hanging about at my house. Thanks to this simple Cricut craft for beginners, that’s not an issue. Gather your supplies and let’s get started.

Tips to Make this Pie Slice Box with Cricut
- First, download the free pie slice box cut file set. With that in hand, you’ll be able to make as many gift boxes. I make a few extras because I’m certainly not going to judge someone for taking home multiple pieces.
- Follow the easy directions below to make the perfect to-go pie box. It might seem a bit complex and un-doable if you try to assemble the box without reading all the way through the instructions first.
- Brayer down the material to that mat. I never skip this step. If you have a dirty mat (hey, no judgement coming from me), consider taping down the outside edges, as well.
- Verify that you have a sharp blade on your Cricut. The first time I tried to cut this, because my blade was dirty and a little dull after cutting quite a bit of craft board, the card stock pulled up from the mat and tore.

Instructions
- Upload the file to the design software. Ungroup from the layers panel and select the layer with the fold lines. Click on "line type" and then select "score" from the drop-down menu. Repeat for the lid and the bottom of the box. They'll be attached together later on.
- Select the score lines and the main box shape. Hit attach near the bottom of the panel. Repeat for the lid and bottom.
- Have the Cricut cut the boxes. Adjust the media type to medium card stock and load in the card stock using the light grip mat. Adjust the tool to the scoring wheel or stylus and load it into the machine once directed. Hit the go button.
- Once it has cut, unload the mat and fold the score lines.
- Put the tape on the front and back tabs the enclose the triangle and make the walls. Repeat for both box pieces.
- Attach the pieces together and add tape on the back outside flap, which is the piece with the bigger sides. Slide the flap of the lid into the bottom to attach together. The flaps will overlap and the flap of the lid with the tape will stick to the bottom one.
- Add a liner of wax paper and pop in your pie slice.
- You can add ribbon or twine for a cute touch with a gift tag, if you're so inclined. Then its time to gift that pie!
