We don't know if you noticed, but we are from Bulgaria. Small  country in Eastern Europe. Here we have some unique to our nation traditions. For example we celebrate the beginning of March as a symbol of the coming spring. We call it "Baba Marta" which means "Grandma March". If you want to learn more about it, you would check here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Marta

We will only show you a few decoration from this tradition. And if you like it, you can use it in your home whether celebrate this holiday or not.

Small Fluffy Pompons Prisoners :)

So we will use as a prison an empty jar or glass vase or bottle... something colorless and transparent. 

And the prisoners we will make from string. The tradition says that we should use only white and red colors, but you can choose yours.

Grab a fork from the kitchen and winding the string around it. 

 

Tie another string in the middle. 

 

Cut the both ends.

 

And remove the resulting ball.

 

Now you have one small roll. Do some more of these and put it in the "prison" :). It's ready. 

Now you have something from Bulgaria. 

We reveal to you something of  our nation, but we'll be glad to learn more about your too. Pleas Sheer with us particularities of the traditions from your country.
