DIY The Cutest Apple Pie Decor That Looks So Real Using A Few Dollar Tree Supplies

So many pies, so little time — real ones to eat and fake ones as home decor. The delicious dessert is commonly used in fall, spring, summer, and winter decorations for whimsical flair, but you don't have to break the bank buying that faux pie. There are lots of easy and affordable Dollar Tree DIYs that will add a rustic touch to your home. The store has everything you need to make a faux dessert piece that looks so realistic you or your guests might try to cut a slice.

This DIY is also an amazing way to repurpose unused pie tin around your home. Along with that, you'll need a sponge, some paint (such as Crafters Square Tempera Paint), glue or a hot glue gun, felt, scissors that cut in a decorative pattern, glitter (like the Crafters Square Ultra Fine Glitter), and cinnamon. You may also want to grab an apple essential oil to give the pie a related yummy scent you can fill your home with.

First, gather your supplies at Dollar Tree and home. For the apple pie, take the sponge and cut it into smaller chunks so they look like apples in a pie. Then, coat the sponge in brown paint liberally and let it dry. Once they're ready, use a hot glue gun to stick the painted sponge pieces to the bottom of the pan and on top of each other vertically, so it starts to give the pie some height.

The inside of the pastry is now set, so it's time to work on the crust. Grab the felt and use the patterned scissor to cut strips and the outer crust, then glue them onto the pie. Apply cinnamon on top of the felt to make it look like a real crust and add glitter for some sparkle. And now, you have a fall living room decor idea that will transform your space. Add the essential oil if you want to give the pie a scent. This method can also work for other kinds of pies, like blueberry (substitute the sponges for blue pom balls) or use another approach with foam clay to make a fake pumpkin pie.
