berry basket May Day bouquets

After stumbling across this lovely pic on instagram, I knew the next chance I had to gift flowers was going to involve a berry basket.

Thank goodness for May Day {but these would totally work for Mother's Day, too!}

I put a basket together for each of the boys' teachers during naps this afternoon.

I used:

pulp berry baskets I had saved from the farmer's market
tiny mason jars {I think they're 2 oz??}
parchment paper {the kind used to line baking sheets...I have a huge roll I bought at Costco} cut to about 11 x 11 inch squares
a few of my favorite $3.99 bouquets from Trader Joe's
ribbon and paper scraps and tiny clothespins

I lined each basket with a sheet of parchment and nestled in two mason jars...

I filled the jars with flowers and water...

Pinned a few embellishments on the side...

And was done!

Happy May Day, friends!  Hopefully this means today was the last day I have to wear a winter coat and Uggs to baseball practice!!
