- wrapped candy for the flower centers
- double sided tape or a glue stick

How to assemble A May Day Basket
Download template and print on two sided card-stock. Print with no scaling.
Printable May Day Basket
Cut out all pieces. Cut clear to the edge even though the lines don’t print clear to the edge. 
Spread glue stick on 1/4 inch on edge of straight side. 
Fold paper together to make a cone. Overlap top edge no more than 1/2 inch. Seam can go to a point. 
Glue flower shapes to wood craft stick and then glue candy to center of flower. 
Glue or tape handle to cone, fill cone with some candy and add flowers. Gift tag can be attached by poking a hole in the tag and attaching a ribbon. Let your imagination run wild. The flowers would be extra cute with some paper embellishments or even glitter! How about adding some leaves to the wood craft stick— you could even write some sweet messages on the leaves.
Hang on your friend’s door and RUN!

Very cute! Our girls’ class always celebrates May Day by delivering cones of fresh flowers to other classrooms. I like that this option lasts longer for everyone to enjoy. (Plus? Mmm, chocolate!)
I’ve made a lot of flower pins lately, and I think I will use the cone and sticks to present them as teacher thank you gifts for the end of the year. Thank you for the great idea!
Very cute basket
Love this stuff–I eagerly open Tip Junkie when it comes!
