Thanksgiving Cornucopia

Gather the family together for a Thanksgiving dinner. Dress your table in its finest and decorate it with a hand woven cornucopia. This harvest basket can be made from round reed or gathered vines. The cone shaped basket shown here filled with red potatoes is a relatively easy shape to make using twining for the body. The rim can be done in several variations of border patterns. The example in the photo is braided.

	Primary Spokes - 4 pieces of #4 Smoked Round Reed 50-60" long
	Secondary Spokes - 8 pieces of #4 Smoked Round Reed 32" long
	Weavers - #3 Smoked Round Reed (# depends on finished size of basket)

	Scissors
	Water bucket
	Needle nosed pliers
	Side cutters
	Tape measure
	Awl
