Bugle Cornucopias and a Thanksgiving Printable
I haven’t bought my turkey yet…is that bad?
Actually, I have bought none of the required Thanksgiving Day foods. There is nary a sweet potato to be found at my home.
I do, however, have plenty of Runts…and Pop Tarts…and Hot Pockets. Do you think I could get away with serving those for Thanksgiving dinner?
MY OTHER RECIPESTomorrow when I food shop I am sure that I will get stuck buying a frozen turkey that I will stress out about until the moment of preparation. Who knew that turkeys take like a WEEK to thaw out! Geez. I mean, whenever we have parties here at the house we go crazy buying ice for the coolers which inevitably melts in a few hours. I think next time I’ll just buy a frozen turkey…dude, cold drinks for days!
Away, I haven’t bought a turkey… but I have made Bugle Cornucopia treat bags. Prioritizing is not where I excel.
So, if you are interested in not buying turkeys and making fun treats, let’s talk.
A few weeks ago I was reminded by THIS girl that I had failed to produce a Bugle Thanksgiving treat…I don’t know how I let that slip through the cracks, but I knew I needed to get on it.
I decided on a deconstructed cornucopia, because that meant I could use Runts…and well, whenever there’s an opportunity to use Runts I ‘m all over it 🙂
Bugle Cornucopias and a Thanksgiving Printable
Here’s what you need…
Runts, Bugles, treat bags, a stapler, scissors and some double sided tape.
The treat bags I used were 4×9 in size. I trimmed them down about 3 inches, so they weren’t quite as long.
I filled the bags with a handful of both Bugles and Runts, folded over the bag and stapled closed.
Then I made some cute printables that I cut out and folded in half.

I attached the printable with double sided tape and that’s it!
Again here’s the link to the Printable
Now I have no excuse. MUST. BUY. TURKEY.

Omigosh, Seriously? These are too adorable! You and Bugles are like the perfect treat for any occasion! Thanks for the printables!!!
Ok… now I’m beginning to think you won stock in Bugles… Or it because they come in HUGE bags and are so darn addicting? cute and wonderful as always!
I just love ALL of your ideas. If I’m having a bad day all I have to do is read your blog and I’m smiling immediately. Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas.
These are darling!!! Wish I had this when my kids were younger. Guess I’ll use it when I have grandchildren. ; )
So so adorable. Seriously genius. You are a Bugle ARTIST!! 🙂
damn . . . i was on a juice fast this week . . . until i saw these . . . i cannot resist a bugle anymore than i can resist pie . . . or potatoes . . . or peanut butter stuffed pretzels . . . or peanut M&Ms . . . or dressing . . . or . . . oh hell . . .
Turkey is totally overrated anyway. Pass the runts.
This is awesome. How come I never think of cool things like this? I need to get me some Runts!
Have you ever made the treat with bugles, frosting, and fruit-shape flavored Trix? We always used to make those for my school treats growing up, but we haven’t found the fruit-shaped Trix in years. Regardless, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! :]
i need some bugles … i’ve not had them in years. a must get asap!! so yummy!! (:
I *adore* Bugles! These are precious! Wishing you & your a fabulous Thanksgiving! I just know you’ll pull it off with flying colors!
Great Thanksgiving give-away! I miss eating the cornets. That’s my favorite way back years ago. These days i couldn’t find anymore the brand that I’ve craved for.
Adorable, I think those are better than a turkey any day.
I am not a big fan of Thanksgiving dinner, I don’t eat turkey and I hate anything pumpkin.
What a fun idea Shelly this goody bags are. Perfect for Camilla’s school party on Wednesday. Some how I can’t get the printables, I think the link is not working, or maybe is me that I am going insane LOL.
Love this! That printable is so cute!
Such a fun idea! Happy Thanksgiving!
LOVE this idea!!! So cute and easy! I would totally eat everything in those little bags 😉
So cute n’ easy! Love it. Gonna post a link on Edible Crafts (that and the Twilight shooters over at That’s What We Said!.)
Now, I REALLY appreciate this..my life is so hectic lately with work and family but I wanted to do something “neat”…this is perfect. Thanks Shelly, you make me feel less of a failure. 🙂
These are the cutest little gift baggies ever! I love Bugle Cornucopias! 🙂
You have such great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
aDORabe!!! Kudos to you. Genius.
Thank you for making me laugh out loud! That isn’t the easiest thing to do on a monday!!
You are the best! I think using a frozen turkey to keep drinks cold is the BEST idea! LOL!
YAY!!! Thank you!!
I am so glad I found your site! This is such a cute idea. Just in time to make for my class as a treat before Thanksgiving. Thanks so much
How totally cute. Is now a good time to admit that I’ve always been addicted to BUGLES!?
I love all of your Bugle recipes! I can’t wait to make the Santa Hat Bugles. You have a really cute site! Thanks for being real. 🙂
Perfect to make for my two grand daughters classrooms!
Always checking your site for unique ideas!
Very fantastik!!
I just think these are the cutest Thanksgiving treat ever….might just make it for adults.
Thanks
so cute!!! Any idea what I could use other than runts as these are for 3 year olds?
Maybe fruit snacks? I remember Gerber made some fruit snacks when my guys were little…do they still?
I bet fruit snacks would work out perfectly! Thanks 😉
Thank you for sharing these – they are super cute! http://gigisjoy.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/thanksgiving-treat-bags/
These are so stinkin’ cute!
I have snacks for kindergarten the day before Thanksgiving break – these are definitely going on the menu!
How can I get into a Carpentry apprenticeship?
Can you download the cornucopia labels for the gift bags or do you have to purchase. I tried to download and nothing came up
Yes, you click the link and then click where it says “Cornucopia Printable” and it will come up to print!
the cutest Thanksgiving snack EVER!
I can’t get the printable to work. I click on it and it just takes me back tot he top of the page…Help?
I am having trouble with it as well.. trying to figure out the issue. I’ll keep working on it!
Thanks so much. I got all the stuff to make loot bags for my kids to take to their classes and I can’t get it to print 🙁
Sorry for the delayed response… The printable is working! I meant to get back to you sooner!
I too can not get the printable to work. 🙁 Thank you in advance, love the printable and idea.
Sorry about the inconvenience! I think the link broke at some point and I didn’t realize it! Should be all fixed now!
I cannot open printable. Any advice?
Should be working now!!
I can’t get it to open either….any luck?
The printable should be working now!
got it! thank you so much!
Oh these are so fun! My kids are definitely making these next week when they have ALL WEEK off school! love it! Thank you!
Just made these for Thanksgiving table settings. I added Jolly Rancher Bites(slightly sour, fruit shapes), candy corn, and Planters salted Caramel peanuts to the mix. Tied with a ribbon or raffia and a “So Grateful for You” tag. These are cute and easy!
These are so cute! I printed out the labels, but mine were so big. Where did you find the smaller ones. Thanks
I can’t find bugles in the store. Where did you get them?
I can always find them at Walmart!
I want to make these for a class of 24- do you think 1lb of runts are enough? I’m ordering online because I can’t find them around me and don’t wanna screw up and order too much, or too little.
I would say that you would need 3-ish ounces per kid. A pound is 16 ounces so I would probably buy 5 pounds? You can certainly put in less candy, but that’s just a starting point!
