Happy 4th!

The Fourth of July is definitely one of our favorite holidays! Lots of fantastic food, drink, family and friends celebrating America's independence and the sacrafices our wonderful soldiers make for us every day!

Thank you so very much to our military soldiers and families for their service to our wonderful country! :O)

As you prepare for your bbq celebration, don't forget to add those special details... drink parasols.

To make them, you'll need wooden skewers that are a couple of inches longer than the glasses are tall. Color-photocopy the design onto white paper. (Or download and print this illustration here.) Cut out, then cut along dotted line on each. Create a broad cone by overlapping edges; secure using a glue stick or tape. Poke skewer through underside of cone's point.

Have fun making these drink parasols! We hope you have a safe and happy 4th!
