THE INSPIRATION
The inspiration for this craft has European roots that stem from the great celebrations that occurred all over Europe on May 1, “May Day”.  Maypoles were decorated with streamers or ribbons, fires were lit and baskets of flowers were left on the doorknobs of neighbors. This was considered the exact half of the year and a time for celebration and honoring of the goddess. The idea for the pouches is for you have some of these pouches already prepared and then have fun secretly delivering them to the door handles of neighbors, friends and loved ones. This small act of kindness will create smiles all around town and you can feel good about handing out a little spring-time cheer!
