The Cornucopia
Hang this lovely Cornucopia at the
main door of your home and let it welcome your guests on the
Thanksgiving Day.
Materials Required:
1. Copper wire mesh
2. Mini pinecones
3. Wet floral foam
4. 1-Quart plastic deli container
5. Grasses
6. Eucalyptus pods
7. Amaranths
8. Adhesive putty
The Making:
- Make a cone from the copper wire mesh. With the help of the wire
stitch the seam closed on the back and also create a hanging loop at
the top of the cone.
- Now fill the bottom of the cone with miniature pinecones.
- Now set the clear 1-quart plastic deli container in at the top.
The container should sit about an inch below the top of the cone.
- Then fill the plastic container with wet floral foam so that the
arrangement is kept fresh for a longer time.
- Arrange in such a way that the container and foam is disguised
with more mini pinecones that are inserted between the container and
the mesh cone.
- Finally, create an arrangement with a variety of grasses such as
dusty miller, eucalyptus pods, draping amaranths, miniature
pinecones, and wheat-like green grasses.
- Use the removable adhesive putty to secure the pointed end of the
cone and also to keep the arrangement upright.
