Articles > Home ImprovementCornucopia Centerpiece for Thanksgiving Day
by: Candee Stark
As we enter into the month of November my thoughts turn towards Thanksgiving and everything that this wonderful holiday has to offer.
It is a time for spending time with family and friends and for counting the many blessings the past year has brought to us. Like most people I like to decorate for the holidays, and Thanksgiving is no exception.
Indian corn, pumpkins, gourds, wheat, fruits, nuts, and anything that symbolizes a bountiful harvest are at the top of the list for things I like to include in my decorating scheme. The best way to incorporate all of these items it to design a cornucopia centerpiece for Thanksgiving Day.
What is a cornucopia?
Cornucopia is a Latin term derived from two words, cornu meaning horn and copia meaning plenty. The horn of plenty, as it is also known, is shaped like a horn or cone. It is usually shown overflowing with nuts and fruit.
(Freeman, Morton, S. The Story behind the Words. Philadelphia: Isis Press, 1985)
This everlasting symbol of abundance is easy to create and will become another important tradition you will want to share with your family each year.
Cornucopia Centerpiece:
Materials:
- cone-shaped, store bought cornucopia basket
- assortment of fall fruits and vegetables (small pumpkins, apples, gourds, Indian corn, nuts, and berries)
- dried leaves, wheat, and other natural fillers
- newspaper
- raffia
- thin sheet of plastic or plastic tray (to protect table)
1. Stuff newspaper into cornucopia basket (less harvest items will be needed with the appearance of more!)
2. Cover newspaper with a thin layer of raffia or other natural fillers.
3. Place basket on plastic
4. Place larger fruits and vegetables in basket.
5. Continue adding smaller itemsallow them to spill out on the plastic (Remember, bountiful harvest!)
6. Fill in small places with berries and nuts.
7. Use leaves and other natural items to fill in the spaces; make sure protective plastic is totally covered.
