Pumpkin Patch

It's wedding season again and that means bridal showers.  This summer, I am helping out with decorations for my cousin's shower.  She met her fiance at U of I and they are having a fall wedding so she wants to incorporate pumpkins.  We decided to do a Cinderella/U of I theme.  So phase one is making U of I pumpkins for the centerpieces.  More decorations to come!

Step 1: Pick up some pumpkins.  They just got them in stock at Michael's.  PHEW b/c I was having a hard time tracking them down.

Step 2:  Spray paint them a solid color for consistency

Step 3: Decorate!
