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

pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros

Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
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
Ridgely Maryland 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 Ridgely,
Maryland Baby chicks are really
cute and also
hard to withstand,
however it's best to plan for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by collecting not only the
appropriate products, yet
additionally the appropriate
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
straightforward, you just have to give them with the following: A
clean and cozy
environment Lots of food and water Attention as well as
love Environment Your habitat could be a straightforward box, aquarium,
feline provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without loosened
strings!) to start, and after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid utilizing only
newspaper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You also need
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle jar
cover for food as well as a pet bird water dispenser from a pet store. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you could introduce a perch
right into the habitat to get them
educated on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
provide them with a warmth resource.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb additionally work extremely well (my
referral). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could occupy to two months). The freshly
hatched out need a temperature level
between 90 and 100 levels,
and each week this could
be reduced by
roughly 5 levels approximately. The warmth source need to be on simply one side of the cage
to permit chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
other edge of your warmth
light, you have to
decrease the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
heat (not simply cuddling),
you need to include some warmth.
House cleaning
Tidiness is vital and it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to transform
the bed linens
commonly as well as
consistently provide clean
food and water Food and water.
Chicks expand very fast
which requires a lot of clean
food and water. Provide
sufficient at all times and also inspect
often to
stop dehydrated as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to adult chicken food, as well as it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
and then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking
filth baths, while others will not occupy that task till they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
filth for them to bathe in.
Attention as well as love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. To start
with, they will probably bond with you and
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
enjoy their behavior, you can
catch health problem or various
other issues previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
other harmful
indications. Make sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted feathers and also stopped up cloaca.
Finally, it is very
important to look out
for social issues, such as the
littlest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your house
and relocate outside right into a cage. Look into our
part on chicken coops for more information
concerning coops and
proper coop habitats.
