I have two choices of tablecloth for the picnic table. The one I like best is the checkered cloth pictured on the left. The second choice, is the cloth with stars. It seems to be more of a Patriotic/Fourth of July type cloth. Since our reunion cookout will be after the 4th, I think the checkered cloth would fit nicely.

You can't have a cookout or a picnic without paper plates. After all, who would want to wash dishes for a reunion? So, time to make some miniature paper plates. I used a 3/4" circle scrapbooking punch to cut out each plate. I still have choices to make about which color of plates and cups. We still have a red, white, and blue color scheme. Anyway, after cutting the circles, I used a dowel piece that was smaller than the circle and using my hand to crimp the plates.
