WAVE OLD GLORY

A blueberry speared with

toothpick flags dresses up a pie,

homemade or purchased, in no

time. Look for toothpick flags at

grocery and party-supply stores.

PATCHWORK PRETTY Paper

napkins in a variety of patterns,

plus a little tape, yield a fun and

easy table runner,

below left.

Lay

out napkins (we used lunch size,

but cocktail size would also

work) in a desired design, tape

edges together, and flip over.

SNAPPY SNACKS Send guests to

the fireworks show with paper-

wrapped buckets,

below

, filled

with munchies. Wrap

scrapbooking paper and a ribbon

around an unused paint bucket

(available at containerstore.com),

adhering both with double-stick

tape. Add a label, tuck plastic

bags of treats inside, and go. 62)
