How to make a paper box for pie slices supplies:

Step 1: Cut the cardstock using the pie slice box template. You will need two pieces for each pie slice box. I used a heavy cardstock for the bottom of the box and a colored (lighter weight) cardstock for the top. Note: I like to cut the heavy cardstock piece slightly smaller than the colored so it will easily fit inside.

Step 2: Score the cardstock where the dotted lines are on the pie slice box template by running the folding tool along the side of a ruler. This will make your box super easy to fold.

Step 3: Run the colored cardstock pieces through the Sizzix Big Shot Plus (or another embossing tool), using the embossing folders of your choice. Reposition the folders and run through a few times to emboss the whole piece.
