You can make any pumpkin into an iced tea dispenser, but I went with a large fake pumpkin so that I could use it year after year...party after party.
You might be able to do this yourself with a sharp knife, but I don't trust myself with a sharp knife for one thing. The other thing is, I know my dad has the tools to make this go a lot faster.
I headed to my dad's workshop and he helped me cut the appropriate holes.
He traced a circle on the pumpkin, so he could easily cut the top off.
I did some searching on Amazon to find plastic wine bags. They have lots of sizes to pick from. I went with the 3 liters. 3 liters is 100 ounces.
Search for wine bladders, wine bags, plastic wine bag with spout...and go from there.
We wanted to be sure we had the correct size, so we looked at several bits before we decide on one.
We also put the pumpkin on the stand before we cut out the hole. We wanted to be sure it was not down to low. I wanted a tea cup to fit easily under the spout and not hit the metal stand.
You need to put the bag in the pumpkin before you add the tea (or other drink). The spout needs to be put on from the outside of the pumpkin.
I recommend adding water first to be sure it is secure and tight and won't leak.
Psalm 96:3
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples!
