Decorate your maypole with flowers and ribbons.
Maypoles consist of a long pole with a crown at the top to which ribbons or straps are securely affixed. Maypole dancing is a joyous event which traditionally takes place in May to mark the beginning of spring. Participants hold ribbons which are connected to a crown on top of a long pole. Dancers hold the ribbons while dancing around the pole. The dance usually takes place in Western European countries such as Germany, England and Sweden.
Instructions
1. Purchase enough webbing weave so that each ribbon is one and a half times the height of the pole. Use 1-inch wide webbing weave for short poles and 1½ inch wide webbing weave for long poles. Avoid using silk ribbon as it is too soft and will tangle. Instead, use the webbing weave that straps are commonly made from.
2. Make a loop handle for each dancer. On the bottom, make the loop big enough for participants to use as a handle when they are dancing. Coat the end of the strap with clear adhesive to prevent the webbing weave from fraying. Sew the handle securely to the strap with your sewing machine.
3. Coat the tip of the other end with adhesive. Thread the end through the leash clip's swivel end, make a loop and sew it securely. Once all your ribbons have been completed, clip the leash clips through the hoes in the crown on the top of the maypole.
