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.
