{ DIY } Easy Thanksgiving Favors
Cor·nu·co·pi·a -noun.
1. a horn containing food, drink, etc. in endless supply. 2. an abundant overflowing supply.
I love the Thanksgiving symbol of the cornucopia. It is such a gracious reminder of the abundance we are blessed with in this great country of ours. As we approach the upcoming holiday I thought I'd share a quick & easy favor to make for your friends and loved ones.
1. Start with an assortment of papers. I chose a variety of old postcards which I then color copied. Letters, journal pages, wallpaper or kraft paper bags would also work well.
2. Cut them into rectangles approximately 5 1/2" x 7 1/4".
3. Then roll them into shape and secure in several places with a staple. Tape or glue would be fine too.
4. Fill with your favorite chocolates, nuts and candies. I also tucked in a small pheasant feather. You could also add clippings of herbs or colorful fall flowers. The key is to keep it simple and enjoyable for you.
5. Pile them high on a platter and set near your front door or add a name tag and use as placecards.
As they say it's the little things in life that are remembered most. Blessings! ~H
