When you begin to think outside the box, you’ll see that you can add a hanger to nearly any traditional basket project to turn it into a hanging May Day basket.
This woven recycled wrapping paper basket, for instance, tutorial courtesy of My Kids Make, can be made doorknob-ready with just the addition of twine or yarn or wire. It’s also quite versatile in material–instead of wrapping paper, try out any sturdy paper. Magazine pages, children’s artwork, and brown paper bag would all work well here.
I remember doing May Day baskets as a kid and leaving them for our neighbors. I am so glad to see they are making a come back.
