Paper Plate Cornucopia
This is a cute way to hold nametags for guests. As they arrive, have them look through the cornucopia for their nametag to display in front of their plate.
What You Need
- 9” paper plate
- Brown acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Jumbo craft sticks
- Craft foam: orange, green, red and purple
- Fine point marker
- White craft glue
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Pattern
How To Make It
- Paint the paper plate with brown paint on both sides and let dry.
- Use patterns to cut out shapes from craft foam (purple for eggplant, green for grapes, red for apples, and orange for carrots and oranges).
- Glue the fruit and vegetable shapes onto the ends of the craft sticks.
- Write your guests names on the craft sticks.
- Roll the paper plate into a cone shape and secure with glue stick. You may need to hold it for a minute or so to allow the glue to adhere.
- Fill the cornucopia with name sticks.
Helpful Hints
- Instead of writing the guests’ names for them, keep some pens handy and allow guests to choose what harvest food they want and have them write their name on the sticks themselves.
- If you have a large number of guests coming, make several cornucopias so that they are within reach to everyone at the table.
