May Day, celebrated on May 1, is rooted in the ancient Celtic festival that celebrated the arrival of Spring. Growing up in Ohio, we made paper baskets, stuffed them with Spring flowers (mostly wildflowers) and hung them on the doorknobs of our neighbors' homes. Then we rang the doorbell and ran so that our neighbors would be surprised to find the pretty basket.
When I was teaching first grade in Hampton, our school celebrated May Day with a May Pole in the front yard. I taught my students to weave the pretty crepe paper by going under/over, under/over.
This year I am having a FLOWER CLASS to celebrate MAY DAY. May Day is definitely for flowers! Join me to learn how to make five different flowers for you to use on your cards, gifts, home decor or as a fashion accessory. Great for a Mother's Day surprise (Mother's Day is May 8 this year!).
