Pumpkin Party Cooler

You don't need a fairy godmother to turn a pumpkin into an ice bucket.
Martha Stewart Living, Volume 143 October 2005

You don't need a fairy godmother to turn a pumpkin into an ice bucket. Just choose a large, wide pumpkin, cut off the top third with a serrated knife or keyhole saw, and scrape out the pulp and seeds. Line the gourd with a glass or plastic bowl to prevent it from becoming water-logged. If the pumpkin opening is a bit too small for the bowl, carefully shave the inside edge with a spoon. Finish by filling the bowl with ice and bottled drinks.

    The just love the idea on this cooler here. This would look so good at a party putting drinks in it. I see a lot of people doing this for parties. Running Shoes
