Yesterday we had Sana’s Graduation Tea Party! Such an amazing day. We have had so many requests regarding the decorations so I thought I would add a little DIY to our page! If you have any questions regarding other decorations or particular things from the tea party don’t hesitate to ask!
We first saw the poms on Pinterest and were completely amazed at how something so simple can transform the space you are decorating. After a little Google research we discovered they originated from Martha Stewart Weddings. In my search for the perfect center pieces I also created flowers for the table out of the poms.
Here is a tutorial for the baby poms on a branch. But if you wish to make large ones for hanging decorations all you need to do is keep the original tissue paper size and do the same steps! Goodluck!
DIY POMS TUTORIAL…
What you will need…
scissors
your desired colour tissue paper (mine was 50cm x75cm, but I then cut it to size)
stapler
What to do…
Lay out 10 sheets of 50cm x 75cm tissue paper. Cut the desired size. For my baby ones I used 15cm x 30cm.
Fold the tissue accordion style, for the baby poms I fold them about 1-2cm thick. For the large hanging poms make it about 4cm thick.
Once folded it should look like this.
Once folded in accordion style place a staple in the center of the strip. This will hold it together while you fan it out.
Take one end of the folded tissue and cut diagonally across the tip.
Then do the same to the opposite side.
It should look like this. Don’t worry too much about being too neat. You can’t tell once they are opened up.
This is what you should have so far.
Now fan out each end of the pom.
This is the very delicate part. Here you want to separate the layers of tissue from each other bringing them towards the middle (staple). Do this carefully as the tissue may rip.
Once you get the hang of it you will have them done in no time.
Mika watching in suspense..
Once complete grab a branch from your yard and super glue the end of the branch into the middle of the pom. Once left to dry and completely stuck you can play around with the poms and “fluff” them do they look pretty.
Here are some pictures from all the difference sized ones I did for Sana’s Tea Party..
Goodluck with your pom making xo s & j xo

will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Ridgecrest California is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Ridgecrest,
California Baby chicks are quite
cute and also
tough to resist,
yet it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare first
by gathering not only the
appropriate materials, however
likewise the proper
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
straightforward, you merely need
to provide them with the following: A tidy and also warm and comfortable
habitat Lots of food as well
as water Focus and also
love Habitat Your environment could be a straightforward box, fish tank,
feline service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid utilizing just
paper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You additionally need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a pet bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
into the environment to obtain them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
supply them with a heat resource.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb likewise function very
well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can take up to two months). The recently
hatched out require a temperature level
between 90 as well as 100 levels,
and also each week this could
be decreased by
around 5 levels approximately. The warmth resource need to be on just one side of the cage
to permit chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your warmth
light, you have to
decrease the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not merely snuggling),
you need to add some warmth.
Housekeeping
Cleanliness is key as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to alter
the bed linens
typically as well as
constantly supply tidy
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand really quickly
which calls for lots of tidy
food and water. Provide
enough in any way times and check
often to
stop parched and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, after that
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
then to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others won't occupy that task till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to bathe in.
Attention as well as love There are a
few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will more than likely bond with you and
not run away as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
enjoy their habits, you can
catch ailment or various
other issues previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or
various other harmful
signs. Make sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can cause matted plumes and obstructed cloaca.
Lastly, it is essential to watch out for social issues, such as the
littlest chick obtaining picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are now completely feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your residence
and relocate outside into a cage. Have a look at our
part on chicken coops to get more information
about cages as well as
correct coop habitats.
