How to Make a Pumpkin Dip Bowl Holder

Make a nice food presentation for a Halloween, autumn, football or Thanksgiving events by making this very simple pumpkin dip bowl holder. It only takes a few minutes to create but it gives a simple dish a lot of flair and color. Once the pumpkin dip bowl holder is made, you can set it anywhere along with some chips or nice cut up veggies, or make a yogurt dip with fresh fruit for your pumpkin dip bowl holder.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pumpkin
• Dip sized bowl that is larger on the top than the bottom or has a rim near the top
• Knife or jack-o-lantern carving tool

1. Pick a good sized pumpkin from the store or your yard.

2. Cut a small top of the pumpkin smaller than the bowl. Set the stem and small piece aside.

3. Put the bowl on the top of the pumpkin over the cut out space, then take the knife or carving tool and trace around the bowl onto the top of the pumpkin so you have the size of the bowl.

4. Cut the tracing in the pumpkin out so you now have a whole big enough to hold the bowl but not let it fall through when you set the bowl in the hole. You want it to have a firm fit. You can slightly angle the cut towards the center to make sure the bowl won’t fall through, then test it and remove any excess you need to.

5. Fill the bowl with your chosen dip and set the bowl in the cut opening. The pumpkin acts as a holder for the dip bowl. Now you have a dramatic presentation for any special autumn occasion.

Tips & Warnings

• Like carving a jack-o-lantern, this will only last a couple days so do it on the day of the event and it will be nice and fresh.
• If any children are helping to cut the pumpkin, be sure to supervise them.
