DIY Cornucopia

Greetings and happy autumn!

I was looking for a craft to celebrate the beginning of the fall season, Mabon, and Thanksgiving, and I found a couple of sites that gave directions on how to make a cornucopia.
Each site had a different approach, and I decided to start with the one tutorial because I thought it looked fairly simple and straightforward. (Uhm, not so much!) So, I decided I’d give the second site a go.. it was still challenging, but guess what? I love a good challenge!

I love thinking creatively and getting the craft to go from uh-oh to Oh-Yeah!!

Watch the video… My very first one, btw and watch how I navigate crafts that don’t go as planned.
