  Procedure - Shape The Point

Once there is enough space between spokes to do so, separate the paired spokes and twine over each one separately.
  Procedure - Shape The Point

The basket will begin to flare out. As additional rows of twining are completed, the space between each spoke will increase. You can widen the shape of the cone by urging the spokes outward as you weave. You should think about whether you want your cornucopia to be long and narrow or flare out more rapidly giving it a more pudgy appearance.
  Procedure - Add Secondary Spokes

When the spokes become spaced again add one secondary spoke to one side of each original spoke. Use a scissors to make a slanted cut at one end of the spoke and slide it down into the weaving right along side of the original spoke.
  Procedure - Weave The Body

Twine around each of the spokes individually. Be careful to keep the spokes well spaced. Continue twining the body of the cornucopia until the shape is as long and as full as you would like it to be.
