It’s always fun to serve food with a holiday twist like these American Flag Fruit Skewers.
.
I enjoy entertaining and even when we don’t have guests, I love to serve foodies with a unique presentation.
I have been seeing all the different Flag fruit skewers everywhere and decided to try it for the Fourth of July.
.
These cute little American Flag Fruit Skewers have only three ingredients, bananas, strawberries and blueberries. And of course, you will need some wooden skewers.
.
.
Start off by threading 6 little blueberries on one of the skewers.
.
.
Slice the bananas into 3/4 inch slices.
.
.
Start the American Flag by adding banana slices and Strawberry halves to the skewers with the blueberries.
.
.
Continue threading the strawberry and bananas slices on the skewers to complete the Amerian Flag.
.
Love all this fruit that makes our super cute food craft American Flag Skewers.
.
These super cute American Flag Skewers are perfect for Memorial Day, Flag Day and 4th of July! And these super cute fruit kabobs will make the perfect side dish for any celebration.

American Flag Fruit Skewers
