The Twelve Days of Craft-mas: Day Twelve

On the twelfth day of craft-mas, I made this for my tree…

a cornucopia!

This last craft is extra special because it has room to hold a little treat! It’s also fun to do with kids and you can get creative with your decorating!

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 20min

Fig 1. Necessary tools

WHat you will need

• Paper (I used old newspaper)

• Glue stick

• Ribbon (to decorate)

• Scissors

• Treats (to fill it up)

• Ornament hooks

Instructions

Cut your paper into a perfect square.

Turn your square on an angle so that it is a diamond. Fold the bottom corner in about 2 inches.

Apply some glue to the outside of the right corner

Curle the glued corner in and press it down right near the centre of the square, forming a cone.

Pinch the bottom of the cone and continue rolling it.

Glue the edge of the cone down.

Decorate with ribbons, bells, paint, or whatever else your heart desires!

Stuff the cornucopia with treats and attach a hook at the top

Now its ready to hang on your tree!

What I Enjoyed

This craft was fast and simple, and I think there are a lot of ways that you could make it extra special! I love the idea of having treats hidden all over the tree, so I may make a few more next year.
