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

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
Powers Michigan 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 Powers,
Michigan Baby chicks are extremely
charming as well as
challenging to stand up to,
yet it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by compiling not only the
right products, yet
also the proper
expertise to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
simple, you merely should supply them with the following: A
clean and warm
habitat A lot of food as well
as water Attention and
love Environment Your habitat can be a straightforward box, fish tank,
pet cat provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing just
paper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You also need
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food as well as a pet dog bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch
into the habitat to obtain them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks heat you need to
offer them with a heat source.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb additionally work very
well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could use
up to two months). The freshly
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
and each week this can
be decreased by
about 5 degrees approximately. The warmth source must get on merely one side of the cage
to enable chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
contrary edge of your heat
lamp, you have to
reduce the temperature level. If
they are smothering each various other under the
warmth (not merely curling up),
you need to put some warmth.
Home cleaning
Cleanliness is essential as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to change
the bedding
typically and
constantly provide tidy
food and also water Food and also water.
Chicks expand quite quickly
which calls for plenty of tidy
food and water. Provide
sufficient whatsoever times as well
as check
commonly to
stop thirsty and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, after that
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and then to a slightly
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks like to get a head start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others will not occupy that task till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to wash in.
Focus and love There are a
few advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. First off, they will more than likely bond with you and
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and also
enjoy their actions, you could
catch health problem or other issues earlier. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
additionally look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could lead
to matted plumes and also obstructed cloaca.
Finally, it is necessary to watch out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick obtaining badgered. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and also relocate outside right into a
coop. Look into our
area on chicken coops to get more information
concerning coops and also
correct cage environments.
