Materials:

• Old yogurt container (or any other recycled container with straight sides)
• Twigs
• Glue
• White paper/pen
• Ribbon
• Flowers

Instructions:

1. Gather some twigs from outside. Snap twigs to the approximate size of the yogurt container and glue to side. Allow glue to mostly dry before moving on to another side. Or, if you’re making multiples, work on another “basket” while the first one dries.
   
   
    
2. Punch holes in two adjacent corners.
   
   
    
3. Cut a .5 x 4 inch piece of paper. Cut the ends and fold inward to resemble a banner.
   
   
    
4. After writing May Day message, glue in place over sticks.
   
   
    
5. Add the ribbon to the back, add water, some flowers and hang on a friendly neighbor's doorknob.
