No-Sew Burlap Cornucopia and a $100 Giveaway

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Easy No-Sew Burlap CornucopiaCan you believe it’s November? And Thanksgiving will be here before you know it! Sooo…to celebrate the occasion, our monthly No-Sew Showcase group is bringing you some ideas that you can use to help you celebrate the holiday and…a great giveaway to help you create your own Thanksgiving projects! And here’s my contribution…a super-easy no-sew burlap cornucopia! I love the rustic look of burlap and it will fit right in on my Thanksgiving table!

Kitty I have actually been tossing this idea around in my mind for a while and postponing because I have been dreading getting out the chicken wire, tin snips and heavy gloves to create the form for the cornucopia…ouch! But then Miss Kitty said “Why in the world are you doing that when you could just use a wicker form?” Whaaaat? Genius! So I rushed out to Michael’s and there it was…70% off! Woo hoo! Thanks, Miss Kitty!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Cornucopia Tutorial Here’s what you will need:
  • A straw or wicker cornucopia form with the small feet removed and saved for later
  • Burlap cut into strips (I finally found a way to use up most of my leftovers! Yaaay!)
  • Hot glue gun
And here’s what you will do:
  1. Unravel one side of each of the burlap strips.
  2. Wrap the strips around the form, beginning at the small end. Wrap it so that the unraveled edge shows, hot gluing in spots to hold it in place.
  3. You will find that the shape does not allow you to wrap continuously. You will have to piece in a few shorter pieces from the bottom of the form. Always end and begin any strip on the bottom.
  4. Reattach the feet so that they hold the cornucopia straight
  5. And…taa daa! Here it is!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Burlap Cornucopia2 Then I decided that my cornucopia needed a little trial run on my practice Thanksgiving tablescape! (You do have a practice Thanksgiving tablescape, don’t you? lol) I added a little bit of faux bittersweet and filled it with seasonal gourds, little pumpkins, fall leaves and Indian corn. What do you think? I love the rustic texture of the burlap…just the look I was going for!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Basket LinersAnd here is something else that would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving buffet table...my no-sew basket liners! You will find a tutorial for them here that even includes the free utensil graphic!

  3. More cuteness! You are so talented, Debbie!

    I would love a shot at this. I am redoing a guest room next year, and I Ned fabric for a dust ruffle and pillows. Please sign me up for a chance.

    Thank you!

  13. I do have a practice turkey day scape! It's in the spare bedroom and yes my husband think's I'm crazy but I don't want to dry run on the big day and find out I'm missing something -cooking is stressful enough!

  16. You and Miss Kitty are so smart, Debbie.

    What a fantastic idea for Thanksgiving, and it really does sound so easy. And I love a project that makes use of scraps and waste and burlap. Of course, you know how much we no-sew gals love burlap.

    Thrilled to be no-sewing with you again.
