April Showers are almost over and May is a glorious sunny month in the South. I am going to put the umbrella away and hang this May Daisy Basket on our front door.
This basket is just a quick little make over for a basket I already had
I have used it many times for parties, it is fitted with florist foam and looks so pretty full of fresh blooms.
I bought 5 big bright daisies at the craft store and some burlap ribbon
I had a lot of fun making a polka dot burlap bow last month so I got out my handy dandy paint brush
Just a few big dots helter skelter down the ribbon length
I gave the ribbon a little clear polish across the bottom where I cut it to prevent fraying
I didn’t want to take out the florist foam because I want to use this again with fresh flowers. I just covered it up with the burlap ribbon, draping it across the top, and let it hang down each side of the basket
It is secured by a thin ruffled ribbon on each side
I bought this wood M at the craft store too,
it was actually a W but they were sold out of Ms so I just turned it upside down. How handy to have such a versatile last name initial!
The M got some mini polka dots too
A yellow dotted ribbon hangs on each side too, so there are polka dots going on everywhere in all shapes and sizes!
Just a bright way to welcome Summertime!
