You guys, I have this thing for place cards. I don’t know why, but I just love to make them and use them for Thankgsiving. I remember when I was a kid, my mom was in charge of the place cards a few different times, and I remember her using sugar cones to make cornucopias, and filled them with Runts. I thought it was the best thing ever. I also remember her copying, cutting out, coloring, folding and gluing Thanksgiving nut cups together. So maybe I come by it naturally, but I just really love them, and love coming up with different ideas for what I could use for them. I’ve shared quite a few place cards in the past, but today I’m so excited to be sharing these Mini Pie Box Thanksgiving Place Cards with you. They’d be perfect for filling up with nuts, your favorite treat, or whatever.

To make these Mini Pie Box Thanksgiving Place Cards you’ll need:
- Kraft Cardstock
- Burnt Orange Cardstock
- Adhesive
- Brown Ink Pad
- Tissue Paper
- 1 3/4″ Circle Punch
- Baker’s Twine
- Adhesive Foil
- Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2
Using your Cricut Explore Air 2, cut out your box and lid and fold them on the score lines. You can find my Cricut Design Space Cut File here. Use your adhesive to put them together.
Using the brown ink pad, ink the edges of the box and the lid and then place the lid on the box.
Using Cricut Design Space, design the names that you need cut. Cut them on the Cricut Explore Air 2, weed them, and apply transfer tape. Peel the backing off of your foil lettering.
Place the foil, adhesive side down onto the lid of your box, then remove the transfer tape.
Now you’re ready to make your Tissie Paper Whipping Cream. Find the instructions for that HERE.
Once you have your “Whipping Cream” made, attach it to the top. Now your cute little Mini Pie Boxes are ready to be filled up with a fun little treat to snack on before dinner. You can set one at each place setting.
Or you can leave them all together and display them and send them home with the guests after dinner.
I think I’ll be using mine as decor until Thanksgiving day. Aren’t they so cute?!
If you’ve enjoyed this project, here are some others you might like as well.
These are so cute! The tissue paper whipped cream is my favorite. So clever!
These are really cute nice job! At first glance I though the white topper was a powdered donut lol!
These are so cute! Thanks for sharing your file!
These are super cute! What font did you use?
Hi Bridget, the font I used is called Bromello. It’s a favorite of mine. 🙂
Love those pie boxes! They are so cute – I will have to make them for my guests’ place cards. I also like the “Hello” door sign – in turquoise! That’s so cute and you could use that most of the year.
Thank you, Barbara! I’d love to see your pie boxes when you get them done.
Love these pie boxes! What are the measurements?
I’m not sure of the finished measurement of each box, but when they are all together, they are sitting on a 10″ round cake plate, so they aren’t huge. They definitely wouldn’t actually fit a piece of pie in them. I think at the wide part of the box, they are close to 2.5″ wide.
These are so cute, and I love the mini size – perfect placard and will be a hit at the “kids table” this Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for sharing your template! I can’t wait to make them!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy putting them together. 🙂
Hi! Love this! I clicked on the Cricut file but it won’t allow me to cut- it says “This item is not available for sale. Cake slice box single image entitlement.” Any ideas how I will be able to cut?
Shoot! Does it not give the option to buy? Will it let you open and try it in the offline version of DS? The two files that are in there are Cake Slice Box #M3317F and Scallop Pie Lid #M340DF. I hope that helps. I just opened the file, and clicked Make it and it was working for me, so I’m not sure if there was an issue the other day, or what is going on. Let me know if you get it to work.
I’m also having the same issue. I’m able to search and find the Scallop Pie Lid, but not the Cake Slice Box.
I’m so sorry you’re having the same issue! There is an issue on the Cricut end of the file. You could try to open it and purchase the designs in the offline version of Design Space. I believe you’d have to open the link, click customize, save it as your own file with a new name, then open in the offline desktop version on a computer. Buy the images, then cut them. So sorry for the trouble. The images are both from the same cartridge, Sweet Tooth Boxes. Hope that helps! 🙂
No, it doesn’t give me an option to buy 🙁 I wanted to make these for Thanksgiving this year 🙁
