Cornucopias are a traditional symbol of harvest and abundance, and our homemade horn of plenty is no different.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 9-inch paper plate
Masking tape Scissors Craft glue Manila rope Clothespins or binder clips Twine Coffee filter | |
| Seasons: Fall, Thanksgiving | |
| Materials: masking tape, paper plate | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  To make one, roll a 9-inch paper plate into a cone,
securing it with masking tape. Bend the end of the cone slightly
to curve it, then wrap the cone with more tape to create a smooth
surface, leaving the hole at the tip untaped. |
| 2. | Next, use craft glue to fix a length of manila rope (available at hardware stores) around the mouth of the cone. Hold the rope in place with clothespins or binder clips and let the glue dry completely. |
| 3. |  To cover the rest of the cone, fill the hole at the tip of
the cone with craft glue, and stick one end of a 30-foot length
of jute twine into the glue-filled hole. Add a line of glue along
the length of the cone, then begin wrapping the twine around the
cone as shown at right. Tuck the end of the twine under itself
when you reach the manila rope and glue on shorter pieces of
twine where needed to fill in any uncovered space. Let the glue
dry completely before slipping a coffee filter inside the cone
and filling it with nuts, popcorn, and fruit.
