 Give your old Lantern a new look for your Memorial Day Celebration. This was an old rusty lantern that I gave new life to with an Americana Theme for Memorial Day and can be used as well for 4th of July.

| Homemade Barbecue Sauce
|
|
Homemade is better and less expensive than store bought ;-) Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan and simmer over a low heat, uncovered for 20 minutes.

| Craft Project: Car Tag (License Plate) Flag
|
 Make an American flag from an old car tag. Spray paint the tag (license plate) using either red or white. That way you will only have to paint one set of stripes. Let dry. Paint on your blue background for stars, let dry. Paint on your other colored stripes, let dry.

| Uncle Sam's Cold Keeper Bowl with Red, White and Blue Salad
|
 I picked up this Uncle Sam hat in the dollar store. They had matching ice buckets, so it dawned on me that putting the two items together would make a nice presentation for the Fourth of July!

| Happy Birthday USA Cupcakes
|
|
When my kids were tiny, I wondered how to teach them the significance of Independence Day. I was reading Sesame Street Magazine with my kids, and saw a page that was entitled, "Happy Birthday, USA!" Then a great idea hit me, what's a birthday without CAKE?

| Freeze Glow In The Dark Items
|
|
Glow sticks and necklaces are popular on the Fourth of July, but they glow for only about four hours after activation. Instead of just letting them run out, put them in the freezer. It interrupts the glow, & will resume glowing after a 5 - 10 minute thaw. Then the fun toy will last much longer!
