 With holiday gatherings near, here's an easy and quick DIY on how to make a super cute Cornucopia and Bow Table Decoration for Fall! Impress your family and friends with this lovely decorative piece. Imagine it overflowing with seasonal items such as leaves, acorns, nuts, candies and other goodies! The possibilities are endless! 

Supplies Used:

• Burlap paper 12"x12"
• Glue
• Measuring tape
• Scissors
• Wired Ribbon 2.5" wide
• Clamps
• Mini Bowdabra, Tool and Ruler, Wand
• Bowdabra Bow Wire

Instructions:

Start with a sheet of burlap paper 12"x12"

Grasp one of the pointed corners facing up, and roll together the burlap paper into a cone shape, with the bottom forming a point.

Once you line up the burlap edges and point into a cone, run glue along the edges where they overlap to hold the cone in place, to make .  .  . 

 the cornucopia shape.

To dress up the cornucopia with ribbon, take a 50" piece of wired ribbon and . . .

fold together lengthwise. Use clamps to hold ribbon together. Pull the end wire on each side gathering the ribbon into ruffles.

Continue pulling the wires and gathering the ribbon until you have a ruffle long enough to fit around the top inside of the cornucopia cone.

Adjust the wires on both ends of the ribbon ruffle, tie in knot and cut off excess wire and ribbon. Glue on the ruffle around the inside top of cone.

To make the Bowdabra Bow, cut a 15″ piece of Bowdabra wire, fold together and place in the Mini Bowdabra, tucking the ends under. Cut an 18" piece of matching ribbon, creasing the center and place down into the Mini Bowdabra.

Dovetail the ends of the ribbon by folding the ribbon together and cutting at an angle from the fold down to the corner tip.

Next, leave the ribbon on the roll and crease about an inch from the end of the ribbon and insert down into the Mini Bowdabra. Then fold over a four inch loop and press down into the Mini Bowdabra.

Fold the ribbon to make a matching loop on the opposite side, down into the Mini Bowdabra.

Then make two more loops on either side for a total of four loops.  

To finish the bow, make a button loop to cover the bow wire, then scrunch all the loops down using the Mini Bowdabra wand and cut off excess ribbon.

Remove the Mini Bowdabra wand and thread the two loose ends of the bow wire through the loop, pulling tightly and gently pulling it out. Take the bow wire around to the back, tying the wire in two or three tight knots, and cutting off excess wire.

Fluff the bow loops and center button that looks like a ruffle! So cool!

Attach the bow to the center base of the ruffle using glue.

Have fun filling your cornucopia with autumn and fall goodies that will surely impress everyone!
