How to make a thanksgiving centerpiece
Carefully cut a circular opening in the top of the pumpkin large enough to allow a 6 " plastic or terracotta flower pot to be inserted.
Discard the " cap " and stem of the pumpkin.
Remove the loose pulp and seeds from the pumpkin and discard.
( you may want to harvest the seeds for toasting or planting! ) Scrape the inside of the pumpkin as smoothly and cleanly as possible without puncturing through the flesh of the pumpkin. Pour about a 3 " layer of sand into the bottom of the pumpkin.
