• 5” x 5” square of pretty wrapping paper
• A pretty sticker (ones with Bible verses are especially nice) or Scotch tape
• paper punch (or just use a pencil)
• 10” piece of pretty ribbon
• Pretty wildflowers (or even flowers from your garden, but ask Mom first!)

1. Make a cone out of your square piece of paper (pretty side out)
2. Making sure the bottom part is closed tight, secure the edges with tape or your sticker
3. Punch a hole in the back of your cone and tie your ribbon through it in a loop
4. Fill your Spring Flower Basket with your flowers (even dandelions will do!). Don’t forget to put a sprig of green leaves in for color.

Variations:

Small baskets are nice, too! You can make them prettier by lining it with a scrap of fabric, or anything else you can think of.

Even a tin can will do! Paint it (make sure and let it dry), and then punch two holes in the top rim with a nail, so you can tie your ribbon through it in a loop. This is especially good if you don’t think anyone’s home, since you can put some water in the bottom of the can to keep your posies alive longer!

Use your imagination. An empty cakemix box? Try using a scrap of border paper around it, folding the edges over. A small plastic bottle? Make a hole in the top and hang it with ribbon, too! Anything goes, so be creative!

Make as many baskets as you want, then find someone that needs a little cheering up! Neighbors, maybe grandma, or even a total stranger! Before you hang your Flower Basket on their doorknob, make sure you have a great place to hide and watch their reaction! Then hang the flowers, knock on their door (or ring the doorbell), and run and hide! You’re sure to see some surprised smiles! And it’s a great way to let them know someone cares!
