Simple Thanksgiving Centerpiece in 5 Minutes!

For this project you will need:
a horn shaped item
newspaper, scrap paper or packing paper
plastic pumpkins and gourds of all sizes
silk flowers or leaves

For mine I chose a simple wicker horn and went with orange and red colors for my pumpkins and leaves.  I found all my supplies at Michael's for around $10.00.  There are great coupons online and in the Sunday paper also!

The first time I attempted this I didn't put in the packing paper and my cornucopia was not as plentiful as I would have liked.  So this time I started by stuffing the horn about halfway full with packing paper

Next place your pumpkins and gourds into the horn.  This can get frustrating, mine kept falling out.  It's a little bit like playing Jenga.  I would suggested gluing everything into place with a glue gun  (unfortunately I am out of glue sticks at the moment).

Lastly, fill in any gaps with the leaves and place any extra around your horn and enjoy your cornucopia of plenty!

Great Idea and a good-looking cornucopia. Since a centerpiece can be made up of multiple objects, a set of two or three small silk flowers utilizing fall colors will brighten the table and make it look even better.
