Thanksgiving Cornucopia Craft
Repurpose wild grapevines into a beautiful Thanksgiving cornucopia for the table or buffet this holiday.
Yield: 1
Cost: $0
Equipment
- Pruners, pliers, wire cutters
Materials
- Wild grapevines from the yard
- Craft wire
Instructions
- Cut as many grapevines as you can.
- Strip the leaves.
- Use some of the thicker vines to create the base.
- Make a circle and use some wire to hold it together leaving some of the vine untouched.
- Next, add two more vines to the circle creating a cone shape.
- Then add more and more vines around the cone shape, weaving them over and through existing vines to hold their shape.
- Trim any excess or wayward vines.
- Fill the cornucopia with fresh and/or faux fall decorations such as gourds, pumpkins, and squashes. Also, add some fresh fruit to serve to your guests after dinner.
Notes
Give the vines a good spray with the hose to remove any unwanted pests or debris.
If you don't have access to vines consider buying a grapevine wreath and deconstruct it to make a small cornucopia.
