5. Place tracing paper over the pie sections and trace one section. Create an interesting design in the tracing paper pie section.
6. On opposite side of tracing paper, retrace the design.
7. Lay the pie section (tracing paper) over a pie section in the circle and trace over the design. This will leave copy of the design. Do this for each pie section.
