Create a Rustic Cornucopia

This cornucopia project took just under an hour to complete. Here's what you need: chicken wire / wire cutters /  work gloves (optional) /  measuring tape / 1 yard of burlap (available at local fabric stores) / scissors / raffia / glue gun / hot glue sticks / marker. With wire cutters, cut a piece of chicken wire into a 20"x 20" section. Be sure that one side of your chicken wire square consists of the finished edge of the chicken wire. You might want to wear long sleeves and a pair of work gloves. Chicken wire can cause scratches.

With the finished edge of the chicken wire serving as the cornucopia's opening, begin rolling the chicken wire into the shape of a cone. It is easiest to start at the pointier end of the cone first. Bend the rough edges of the chicken wire to join the sides together.

Once your cone shape is complete, bend the pointier end up just a bit to help create the look of the cornucopia.

Spread the burlap out. Cut a 4-inch by approximately 5-foot strip. Beginning at the pointier end of the cornucopia, begin to tightly wrap and glue the burlap around the wire cornucopia. Be sure to leave about 3 inches of burlap overhanging the cornucopia's tip.
