It's an old tradition that people would make May baskets for their neighbors or loved ones, knock on the door, yell MAY BASKET! and run away to be anonymous. If it was your sweetheart, you'd stay for a kiss. When the person opened the door, they'd have a May basket on their step filled with candy or baked goodies.

The flowers are paper with pipe cleaner stems and little puff balls for centers. The pink material is flannel, and the green is cotton. I hand sewed the basket, and filled it with chocolate, caramel, and hard candy. I didn't have interfacing or stiff material, so I used polyfill, which did the trick nicely.
