What You Need to Make Fourth of July Star-Spangled Skewers:

• watermelon (preferably seedlesss)
• blueberries
• wooden skewer sticks (I love the ones from Dollar Tree)
• mini star cookie cutter (similar ones here and here)

How to make these festive fruit skewers:

1. Slice the watermelon into 1″ slices.

2. Use the star cookie cutter to cut watermelon into star shapes from the slices. Continue until you have plenty of stars.

3. Grab a skewer. Poke the skewer through the bottom of the star all the way through the top and slide down about 2/3 way down. Add 2 blueberries. Repeat.

4. Chill on a tray until you are ready to serve. The more chilled, the better!
