This sweet paper cornucopia is the perfect way to get everybody at the table sharing their thankfulness.
Materials:
8 inch square sheet of paper
double-sided tape
contrasting color of paper for decorative flower
scissors
popsicle sticks (same # as guests coming for dinner)
decorative punch
I rolled the square sheet of paper into a cone, taping the open edge to the side of the cone. Then I cut out a flower, curled the petals inward around a pencil, and taped it onto the top of the cone.
I put popsicle sticks inside, but strips of paper would work just as well for guests to write down and share their thankful thoughts. I glued a small flower punch-out to the end of each stick.
There is so much to be thankful for. I can't wait to do this with my family.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been following your blog for a month or so now. I LOVE your simple and sweet ideas. A couple weeks ago we made your paper books which were a big hit. I can't wait to try this one. Thanks for sharing!
This cornucopia is very cute. We write the things we are thankful on slips during November and put them in a basket but I like this cornucopia. Thanks again for sharing. I am always inspired by your fun ideas!
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
That is adorable!
I've been lurking for quite some time and have enjoyed sharing your ideas with my girls...most recently, the pumpkin spice muffins have been a big hit! Anyway, this idea reminded me of a tradition my family has at Thanksgiving. We each write down 3 things we're thankful for and 3 things we wish for on a slip of paper and put them all in a basket. After dinner, we all gather and pass the basket around the room, each person taking a paper to read aloud. Then we try and guess who wrote it! It's such a nice way to share our blessings and is such fun to try and guess who's who!
Thank you for this idea! I will using it in my classroom for 6th and 7th grade.
