Once again focusing on Centerpieces.  This time I needed a fall centerpiece for a relief society dinner.  I want something live, and something that the ladies could see over while they were chatting. After seeing some pumpkin centerpieces on Pinterest I decided to design my own.  I took a flat white pumpkin from my porch and gutted it.  I made hole on top so that it would fit my water container (sour cream carton) snugly.  I then cut wide slits all the way around the pumpkin.  I used a safety pin pinned to the end of my ribbon to help me weave the ribbon in and out of the pumpkin.  I used a ribbon 3 x the circumference of my pumpkin.  I secured the ends of the ribbon with some bling :). After cutting down the container so the top didn't show over the edge of the pumpkin, I filled it with the last of my fresh baby roses :( this fall and branches from a bush in the garden.
