May Day Baskets …



The girls and I had a rare quiet morning at home today. We spent the morning making May Day baskets. We made simple cone shaped baskets using scrapbooking paper and ribbon. We filled them with popcorn, candy and a packet of seeds for kids and biscotti, tea and flower seeds for adults. We delivered one today (Sarah couldn't wait) and will do the others tomorrow. Here are some links on instructions for making a variety of May Day Baskets. Enjoy!
