Bandanas for Root Beer or Cream Soda Pop Bottles

*I cut out 4 square pieces of Muslin material 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 Inches and cut them in half on an angle and tied the longest side (which is 9 1/2 inches in length) ends together around each of the pop bottles, making 8 Bandanas.

Decorative Wagon Wheels

I used burlap ribbon/strips and wrapped around tubing you could also use Hula Hoops. I used Jute to tie and wrap around to secure burlap strips and for the spokes you could use a thicker rope or burlap strips twisted, but I used Jute.

I used the same flower Technic as I used here.

After making the flowers I attached the flowers to all the crossing pieces of Jute using another piece Jute and a wide eyed needle to attach and I tied the Jute ends in the back of the wagon wheels/flowers.

Bee Sack Treat Bag

* Root Beer Barrels
*Honey Taffy
*Lemon heads candy
*Lemon Creme Almonds

I found all the candy at are local Macey’s Grocery Store except for the Honey Taffy and Treat bags which I bought at Cox Hone. I put all the treats in the treat bag and tied them with Jute.

Bee Cups

I bought the Bee Cups at the dollar store and put in a couple of Bit-O-Honey Candies. (You could take the wrappers off for a more of the pioneer look.) Then fill the rest of the space with Honeycomb Cereal.

I hope you will have a pioneer/bee party in the future.

Jar Tops

Supplies Needed:

*Jars of your choice, it got these at Walmart
*1/2 yard Burlap cut into 9 inch circles or a roll of burlap that has been laminated.
*Doilies, to fit the top of your Jars, I used 6 – 8 inch Doilies or you could cut lace this size too.
*Jute to attach Burlap and Doily, you could also use an elastic to help stay in place
*6 Plastic grocery bags to stuff the top
*6 Embellishments of your choice

I used contact paper for may pattern piece so it would stick as I cut out each circle.

Put in jars any food or ribbons or any content you need for your wedding, parties, showers and etc.

Wheat, Rice and Oatmeal Tags

I used brown paper sacks and cut into 4 x 2 1/2 inches, rectangular shapes and then I printed out the names of the contents using the computer using a tan piece of paper. Then I ripped around each word and used the brown stamp and rubbed the stamp against the edges to make the edges look roughed up.
