Cheesecake Pie 3D Wedge Box

 Box composed of imitation pie slice LID which fits 

snugly over triangular BASE. Pie details include 

top wedge with side and back wall “crust” rim, 
topping “puddle”, strawberry slice pair. 

Designed to fit as a set of 6 into companion design 
“Pie Tin 3D Tray”. 

Consider adding the “Say Cheese”, “Spice It Up” or 
“Sweetie Pie” companion print & cut tag designs. 

Pie wedge measures approx. 2.875 center length 
and height .875” tall hull. 

ASSEMBLY 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A main box LID hull

B crust trim for lower edge of LID hull

(NOTE the back angle portion shown has been removed

in final cut file update)

C LID rear wall   D crust lower edge trim for back wall

E BASE box

F wedge top accent layer

G topping "puddle"

H strawberry shapes: base with hole cut out,

main overlay with seed cut outs, leaf unit,

seeds contrast circle insert

I strawberry slice shapes: base, middle, inner

2. The cheesecake pie wedge box basic assembly for LID and

for BASE are virtually identical to the fruit pie slice box,

in the event that you have already assembled that design. 

 Prepare the hull by bending back on all perforations for 

wedge, side walls, tabs. 

3. Position and attach accent shapes: top wedge within the perforation

angled lines and flush with back curved edge, crust trim strips

along lower edges and even with side cut edges of perf lines.

4. While the rear wall with strip is still pliable (not

completely dried), add back curl to the rear wall unit

in an amount that helps it match the hull back curve.

5. Bend back rear wall top edge tabs.

6. Position the rear wall tabs edge centered along

the hull curved edge, align ends precisely

and begin to attach in place.

NOTE it may be helpful to first attach ends and

secure, then . . .

. . . push middle of seam into place to match

perforations of tabs with hull curve edge and

ease the edges together to secure the full length.

Reverse the assembly onto a flat surface to apply

fingertip pressure along the tabs from the backside

to fully secure seam.

7. Bend the walls into position with tabs bent

inward to align, adjust and attach at back corner

and front center point seams.

9. Begin the finishing details for LID by bending

the (optional) topping "puddle" shape back at

side angled perforations.

Position and attach to the LID at position where

the angled perf lines match the wedge edges snugly,

with side drips hanging down and attaching to 

side walls.

10. Prepare the strawberry unit by assembling shapes:

A) position the whole strawberry on top of

the base layer, then . . .

. . . turn the assembly over to insert and attach

the contrast disc into the circle cut out.

B) position and attach the leaf unit where it

matches the base edges, tucked snugly into

the angle above the whole berry front layer.

11. Prepare the strawberry slice by assembling shapes,

middle and smallest centered onto base

as shown . . .

. . . slightly higher than centered.

12. Arrange and attach the whole berry and

slice onto LID front, slightly angled as shown.

13. Prepare the BASE shape (sample shown here

is from the fruit pie box project) by bending back

on all perforations for main wedge shape, walls, tabs.

NOTE that the back panel of box base can be 

identified by the notch.

14. Bend the walls into position, with tabs bend inward,

align and join all three corner seams.

NOTE that the narrowness of the wall angles at

tips may be more easily joined by slipping 

a spatula tool blade behind the seam to provide 

a press-against surface.

To close the box, insert the BASE into the bottom

opening of the LID - flexing slightly if necessary to fit

back angles inside LID walls, then push BASE into place 

until bottom is flush with hull wall lower edge.

15. If desired, prepare and attach the print & cut

pie label (Say Cheese version shown here).

To attach with twine, determine desired position,

then create small holes through LID top layers

and nearby through rear wall using an ultra-sharp

pointed tool such as this awl.

Thread twine through the two holes, slip tag

on to twine, then tiw knot and bow.

Consider preparing up to six slice boxes to fit into

companion Pie Tin design.

Pumpkin Pie 3D Wedge Box with Cream

 
Box composed of imitation pie slice LID which fits snugly 

over triangular BASE. 

Pie details include top wedge, side wall “crust” rim, 

crust crimps at upper back. 

Eight-part “slice-form” whip cream dollop 

attaches to top wedge accent shape. 

Designed to fit as a set of 6 into companion design 

“Pie Tin 3D Tray”.

Consider including the "Spice it up"  or "Sweetie Pie"

tag companion designs to complete your ensemble.

Wedge measures approx. 2.875 center length (bottom dimension) 

and 3.25” at top tip to crimp seams; height .875” tall body 

and 1.1875” at crimp back, 2.125” tall to tip of whip cream. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A slice LID hull   B slice LID hull back wall

C crust lower edge accent for hull side walls

D accent wedge shape for top of hull

E crust crimps regular (4)

F crust right end crimp

G whipped cream slices (8)

NOTE: these shapes are best cut from 65 lb stock

or lighter weight, which is the same on both sides

H BASE box

2. The pie wedge box basic assembly for LID and

for BASE are virtually identical to the pie slice box. 

Follow this LINK to view tutorial steps, beginning with

step 2, then return to assemble the whipped cream

as shown in steps 3 - 13 below.

3. Prepare the 8 slices for the "slice form" cream dollop

by bending forward at vertical center perforation.

NOTE: that each slice will have the connection tab

on the right lower half as indicated.

4. Use a narrow diameter rod tool such as this skewer

or a very fine knitting needle or crochet hook to add

curl to each half: back curl to the right half with tab . . .

and forward curl to the left half, so that both halves

spiral in counter clockwise direction as shown here

as viewed from the top. NOTE that it is fairly tight curl.

5. Begin the assembly of the cream dollop halves

by aligning the first two of four slices faces outward

so that the right half of first slice and left half of second

fit together as shown. 

Apply glue and join the two aligned surfaces together, 

taking care to align the joining cut edges as precisely 

as possible, also aligning the center perforation folds

to stack.

6. Position and add the third slice in the same fashion,

continuing to align the cut edges of the two halves

being joined back to back precisely. Also NOTE . . .

. . . as mentioned before that the perforation folds

should stack in a precise manner as each slice

is added, as shown here. Apply pressure to

lock in the center folds.

7. Add the fourth slice in the same manner

to complete the first half.

8. Follow steps 5-7 to complete a second half

of the slice form dollop.

9. Prepare to join the 2 halves together by aligning

them back to back, then joining the two halves

that correspond in similar joining process as for

joining pairs of slices in previous steps.

10. Prepare the accent wedge shape by ensuring that

the tab slots for cream dollop are fully open.

Here the tip of a spatula blade is being inserted

into slots to fully open each one.

11. Position the completed dollop form on top of

the accent wedge, align the tabs with slots and

insert tabs and push slots fully inward.

NOTE that the slice tips will need to be "encouraged"

into their original "tight" curl to allow tabs to be inserted.

On backside of wedge shape, bend the tabs outward

and glue each in place.

12. Position the dollop/wedge accent onto the hull

shape and align curved back edge with the perf cuts

of the back tabs. One way to ensure that shape is

fully aligned at perf lines is to bend each tab up

to push against while positioning. Glue the assembly

in place. 

HINT: for the model, dry adhesive double-stick perm tape

was applied to the hull top shape where wedge accent

would sit - near angle perf lines, along back curved edge,

and a bit in the middle.

13. Return to the plain pie box assembly TUTORIAL

to complete remaining assembly of hull and base,

including the positioning and attachment of the

back wall panel as shown here, steps 11 through to end.

14. If you choose to add one of the pie print & cut tags,

use a small gauge punch to add a hole to selected

crust crimp shape (such as the one that is just right

of center), then use twine to tie tag in place.

Or you may decide to duplicate 6 pumpkin pie slice

boxes to fill the companion 3D pie tin design

as a gift box container.
