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

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 ⅔ way down. Add 2 blueberries. Repeat.

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