For an individualized and complementary Thanksgiving centerpiece, make your own cornucopia. The materials and construction are simple.

You will need:

One cornucopia. Get the size that best fits your table.

Styrofoam block or ball in a size that will fit about halfway into the horn.

Silk flowers or ornamental plants. You can get these in traditional autumn colors or make them fit your dining room decorating scheme.

Place the styrofoam ball or block in the horn and push it down so that it fits snugly about halfway. Next just stick the stems of the flowers into the styrofoam and arrange to your taste. The only requirement is that you use enough flowers to hide the sytrofoam and make sure they are of varying lengths, but that some are long enough to drape elegantly beyond the rim of the horn and onto the table.
