A cornucopia is a traditional Thanksgiving piece. It symbolizes abundance, a bountiful harvest, and, by extension, an appreciation for both of those things. I asked my friend Krista at Not Just in Novels to create one for us this year and in turn show us her easy steps to make one at home! It could be such a beautiful centerpiece for Thanksgiving day and you really only need a few things from your local grocery store to make it happen! Let’s take a look at her lovely creation and follow along with her step by step guide…
