What to Make This Weekend: Giant Party Blowers, Mini Cornucopias + More
Before you start stressing about the fact Thanksgiving is next week, give yourself a creative break. Get a head start on your guest bedroom decor, whip up a pumpkin pie and DIY something super festive for your dinner table. Don’t worry — none of the projects here will take up more than a couple of hours, so you’ve still got plenty of time to brunch, sleep in and catch up on your fave show. Whether you’re in the mood to make something teeny tiny or something a little more ambitious, these 10 DIY projects are just the thing to entertain you over the weekend.
1. DIY Mini Dip-Dye Cornucopias: If you haven’t hopped on the mini home decor trend yet, you’re missing out on some serious cuteness. These teeny cornucopias are super easy to make and you can personalize the color palette to perfectly coordinate with your Thanksgiving decorations. (via Brit + Co)
