The pumpkin pie slice place cards that I will be showing you today, are not only easy to make but are also inexpensive to make. Within this DIY I included a template for the pumpkin pie slice pieces I made in this tutorial. The pumpkin pie slice pieces themselves are designed to go on a 2 inch clothespin and are on the smaller size. However, you could enlarge the template to make the pumpkin pie slice pieces bigger, if that is the look you are going for.

Step 3: Combine your pumpkin pie pieces together. However, before combining them, make sure you rub each paper piece while it’s on the Xyron Sticker paper. That way, you’ll be creating a really strong adhesives backing. In this case, you will want to add your orange piece on top of the brown piece and then the white piece on top of the orange piece.

I love how these place cards turned out! I especially like that they can stand up on their own and are not too overwhelming as a whole.

As previously mentioned, you can adjust the size of the template to fit your table décor needs. Along those same lines, you could change out the colors of the paper as well, to create any type of pie that you wanted. For example, you could make an apple pie slice or a cranberry pie slice. With that being said, you could also adjust how you create the actual name cards. In this case, I went with stamps but you could also use letter stickers or simply just hand write the name!

If you made these name cards, would you make a pumpkin pie slice or another type of pie slice?
