May Day Baskets

As a young girl, I enjoyed hanging May Day baskets on ours or our neighbor’s door. On Monday, we made May Day baskets, during Little Flowers.


Catherine’s and Bernadette’s May Day Baskets

Materials:
Wallpaper Scraps (or Construction Paper)
Template (see below)
Scissors
Stapler
One-hole Punch
Ribbon
Easter Grass
Flowers

How to Make:

Trace the template onto the back of the wallpaper (or construction paper). Cut along traced lines. Roll the wallpaper into a cone shape. Staple the cone together (a high and low staple work well). Use the hole punch to make a hole on either side of the open end of the cone. Lace the ribbon through the holes and tie on each side. Fill the basket with Easter grass. Place real or foam flowers in the basket.
On May 1, hang the basket on a neighbor’s door, ding the doorbell and run.
