Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

As you "Gather" this holiday season with family and friends, showcase your baked goods by creating a personalized wooden pie box lid using a simple SVG file and acrylic paints for transporting.

Step 1:

Gather all materials and review instructions before beginning.

Step 2:

Create stencil:

Following your Silhouette/Cricut machine instructions bring in to your program the SVG file, “ Gather” . Enlarge design to 7” x 7” sq. Create and “ cut” your template. Weed your template using “reverse weeding".

Reverse weeding: Removing the area of the vinyl that would normally be left behind. This technique is mainly used when making a stencil.

For Silhouette users: If you do not have the program upgrade to “cut” SVG files into a template please follow the instructions using the attached link in this tutorial to my project “Thanksgiving Themed Wood Art” to work around. Set stencil aside.

Step 3:

To prep pie box lid for stencil: Remove lid from the box. Using your acrylic paint give it a base coat of your desired color. I used a neutral/gray tone color. Allow time to completely dry.

Step 4:

Apply and center your stencil onto your pie box lid.

Step 5:

Carefully remove transfer paper as you press down stencil onto the lid to secure.

Step 6:

Paint as desired or use your printed template as a color guide. Allow time to completely dry.

Step 7:

Once completely dry. Carefully remove stencil. Some of my base paint stuck to my adhesive but I think it gives it a “vintage” look! You can always touch up any areas if needed. Just slide the lid back onto the box and Viola! Your pie box is now ready to transport your homemade pie or any other baked goods!
