Hello!
I just wanted to say thanks for the great tutorial and template, we will be putting these together as a youth volunteer project for seniors that don’t get many visitors to bring them some spring cheer!
Thanks for the great project idea!
May 1st our senior center will be hosting a 4th grade class and the senior members, volunteers and educational staff will get together at our center to make May Day baskets.
This is a tradition I have loved since a child myself. I grew up in a very small town in SW Kansas and I remember our whole class making baskets and placing them on as many peoples doors as we could, ringing the bell or knocking while hiding in the bushes to make sure someone picked it up. It was so much fun to see the surprise on the recipients faces.
As a child, when we were bored and a bit ornery we would sometimes ring peoples doorbells just for fun and run, however when May 1st came around there was a purpose to those innocent little pranks. I think it was a way to say “I’m sorry”. Happy May Day Baskets Making. Blessings to each of you.
Thanks so much for this wonderful idea. My daughter and I made several baskets and a bunch of flowers last night, and I shared it today on my blog, Go West Young Mom, which is aimed at families in the western suburbs of Chicago. Of course I showed the love to Skip to My Lou. Thank you! http://www.gowestyoungmom.com/home/2012/4/27/easy-craft-how-to-make-a-may-day-basket-out-of-paper.html
