Beltane craft- Mini- Maypole

[Ravencry]

If you don't have room for a full-sized maypole, make a mini one using a wooden dowel or old wooden spoon. Secure an odd number of pastel ribbons to one end, and stick the other end in a small flower pot filled with florist foam or some other thing so the spoon/dowel stands erect in the pot. Cover this with Spanish Moss or excelsior(which isn't as crumbly as Spanish moss) and weave the ribbons under and over each other as with a real maypole. Secure the ends with raffia when the weaving's done and decorate the pot with little silk flowers; if you use Oasis to stick the spoon/dowel in and keep it moist, you can stick small fresh flowers into it with florist picks.
