4th of July Wreath

 

Here is my 4th of July Wreath.  I loved this pin of one they sell on Etsy.  But, being the frugal person I am I decided to make my own.  I think mine is a couple inches bigger than the one from the tutorial so I had to do three rings of burlap which then doesn't make my ribbon look as wide. I used this tutorial but used the roll of burlap ribbon that you can buy at Michaels instead of cutting up my burlap into strips.  It is just too messy.  I also bought the patriotic ribbon there too it is wired so it is really easy to position it like you want. 

4th of July Celebration Food

Here's what I made on the 4th of July this year.  Of course I found it on Pinterest and it was a modification of this one I made earlier in the year.

This is what I made last year.  These were a super big hit with the kiddos. 

How to make:

Ingredients:
Vanilla wafers for the buns
Sesame seeds
Sugar water
Vanilla Frosting
Red,Yellow, & Green Food Coloring
Grasshopper Cookies
Coconut

Get two vanilla wafers.  Insert grasshopper cookie for the meat of the burger.  Tint coconut green in a baggie for your lettuce.  Tint frosting.  Some red (for the ketchup), some yellow (for the cheese).  Add a little cheese and ketchup (your frosting) and then roll in the coconut for the lettuce. Brush some sugar water on the top of the hamburger and sprinkle on your sesame seeds.  Voila.  Your done.  Easy as pie....or easy as hamburgers.
