STEP 2: Shaping Foil
Cut a piece of aluminum foil 30" by 20". Roll into a cone shape. The open end of the cone should be 6-8".
Stuff the cone with aluminum foil so the cone is solid. Bend the end of the cone slightly so it looks like a cornucopia.

STEP 3: Wrapping Dough
Roll each bread stick on a pan.
Start by wrapping one bread stick around the tip of the cornucopia. Take the next bread stick and pinch one of its end to the end of the first bread stick. Continue by adding bread sticks and spiraling up the cornucopia. The bread sticks should overlap by 1/4" to 1/2".
You can get creative with your cornucopia by breading and weaving the dough around the aluminum.

You can spray a finished bread product with lacquer or 'clear coat'. It seals the bread and helps prevent absorption of moisture, and it wont attract pests and vermin, as the sealant renders it inedible.

That is a beautiful edible centerpiece and quite original. I think I may use this idea this coming T-giving to send out as gifts. Thank you for your participation.

I want to thank everyone who participated! I'm really impressed with how your cornucopias came out. Because all the entries were so awesome I'm giving everyone a 1 year pro-membership! You will receive a PM letting you know how to redeem your pro-membership.
I included a picture of my bread cornucopia. I made it for my housemates and they were all really impressed. I also made my butternut squash soup (https://www.instructables.com/id/Vegan-Butternut-Squash-Soup/) so people were able to break off pieces of the cornucopia and dip it in the soup.
CHEERS!!
