Washi Tape May Day Baskets

Happy May Day!  Did you give or receive any flowers today?

I love the tradition of placing May Day baskets on our neighbor’s door handles.  This year I kept it really simple and placed flowers in washi-tape-wrapped paper bags.



To make the bags with handles, I took a plain brown lunch bag and traced around a plate to get a curved top …


… then cut each of the bags along the line.

I folded the top part of the bag down a few inches and cut into the bag, following the lines of the bag and handle top.

This gave me a big open handle with a window for the flowers to peek through.

I wrapped the bags with strips of washi tape and filled them with flowers. It couldn’t get much simpler, huh?

Kennedy hung them on doors early this morning.
