July 24th Bees&Wagons Archives - Page 25 of 29

This was our Pioneer Serving Table for our 24th of July dinner party. We all had a fun time being together as family making memories.

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.

Apple Cider Drink

*Beehive Shaped Glass Container or any 1 1/2 gallon drink container

*1 gallon Apple Cider, cold
*1/2 liter or more of 7-Up or any Lemon Lime Soda, cold
*2 Pink Lady Apples sliced or Apples of your choice
*1 stick of Cinnamon

Place all the above ingredients in Jar and serve. Add Ice if desired.

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.

Cookie Wagons

Supplies needed for Eight Wagons:

*2 boxes Caramel Coconut and Fudge Cookies
**1 box Cloud Cakes
*2 boxes Peanut Butter Bars
*1 package Fudge Striped Cookies
*3 squares of Almond Bark
*1 box Junior Mints

The pictures shows Black String Licorice but I chose not to use them, you could use them on the covered wagon Cloud Cakes. See a picture of it here.

** The Cloud Cakes will dry out and become hard in a couple of hours, so if you want to eat them you will need to make them right before your party begins or make the base and then add the Cloud Cakes just before serving them.

Melt 2 squares of chocolate at a time in a microwave safe cup until melted, every microwave is different but mine I set for 30 seconds and then checked on the chocolate and then another 10 seconds and then intervals of 5-10 seconds until melted.

The chocolate is the glue to hold the wagons together. I spread the melted chocolate on the backside of one of the wafer cookies (You will need 2 wafer cookies for each wagon.) with a knife. Then put the second wafer cookie on top of the first cookie backsides together and then add the wagon wheels to the wafer side of the cookies and let dry before adding wheels to the other side.

Then with the melted chocolate add the Junior Mints to the center of the Cookie Wagon Wheels.

When all wagons are dry add the Cloud Cakes to the top. I slanted the ends of the Cloud Cakes by cutting them with a knife to make them look more like a wagon Cover.

Finished Covered Wagons.

Enjoy!
