Thanksgiving Cornucopia #1

This is a very cheap craft project for Thanksgiving. I had everything i needed.

So far i have used:

• Newspaper
• Yarn
• Scissors
• Water
• Aluminium Foil
• A Store Plastic Bag
• Tape
• Flour

Wet newspaper and shape into desired shape. Tie on a piece of yarn.

Wrap yarn around and mold into desired shape. Leave to dry completely

These were my little helpers, with their goofy smiles :)

My helpers told me what shapes to make.

So far here we have an apple, orange, two strawberries, pear and banana.

These we will layer with mod podge and fabric to give it that rustic look.

Next we make the cornucopia. Mix flour and water together till your get a soupy texture. This is our homemade glue. Take aluminium foil and form into desired cornucopia shape. Then wrap the cornucopia shape with grocery store plastic bag. Tape bag snugly to shape. This will hopefully allow the newspaper not to stick and where you can pull out the aluminium foil once dry.

Cut newspaper into strips. Paint flour paste on one side of the strip of paper and wrap onto cornucopia shape. I used a basting brush.

Keep layering newspaper strips on, the more layers the stronger the cornucopia will be.

Once enough layers are applied you could either mod podge with fabric like the fruit/vegetables or you could paint.

Next steps soon to follow!
