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

Baby Chickens Buy in
Manchaug, Massachusetts
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
Manchaug Massachusetts 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 Manchaug,
Massachusetts Baby chicks are really
cute as well as
challenging to resist,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
appropriate materials, however
likewise the proper
expertise to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
basic, you just need
to give them with the following: A tidy as well as warm
environment Lots of food and water Attention as well as
love Environment Your habitat could be a straightforward box, fish tank,
pet cat provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (with no loose
strings!) to begin, and after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing just
newspaper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You likewise require
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a family
pet bird water dispenser from a pet store. Additionally, as the chicks age you can introduce a perch
into the habitat to obtain them
educated on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you should
provide them with a warmth resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb also function very
well (my
referral). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The newly
hatched out require a temperature
between 90 and also 100 levels,
and every week this could
be minimized by
around 5 levels approximately. The heat source should get on merely one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your warmth
lamp, you should
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not simply curling up),
you have to put some warmth.
House cleaning
Tidiness is vital as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy. Be sure to transform
the bed linen
commonly and
always supply clean
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks expand quite fast
which calls for a lot of clean
food as well as water. Give
sufficient whatsoever times as well
as check
usually to prevent parched as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, then
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
then to a slightly
reduced protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks want
to get a running start on taking
filth baths, while others won't take
up that activity until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Attention and love There are a couple of advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. First of all, they will certainly more than likely bond with you as well as
not run away as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
enjoy their actions, you could
catch illness or various
other troubles earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other undesirable
signs. Be sure to
likewise look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can bring about matted feathers as well
as clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is essential to keep an eye out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick getting teased. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
and also move outside into a cage. Take a look at our
area on chicken cages to find out
more
about coops and
correct cage environments.
