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

Raising Baby Chickens in
Sunburg, Minnesota
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
Sunburg Minnesota 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 Sunburg,
Minnesota Baby chicks are extremely
charming as well as
challenging to stand up to,
however it's finest to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
appropriate products, however
also the correct
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
straightforward, you simply need
to give them with the following: A
clean and also warm and comfortable
environment A lot of food as well
as water Attention as well as
love Environment Your environment can be an easy box, fish tank,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks make use of straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
paper or various other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You also need
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle container
cover for food and also a pet dog bird water dispenser from a
pet dog shop. Likewise, as the chicks age you could present a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
educated on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you should
offer them with a warmth source.
This can be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also function extremely well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can use
up to 2 months). The freshly
hatched out require a temperature
between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
and also each week this could
be decreased by
about 5 degrees or
so. The warmth source ought
to be on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your heat
lamp, you should
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
heat (not merely curling up),
you should include some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is essential and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make sure to change
the bedding
typically and
constantly offer clean
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks grow quite quick
which requires lots of clean
food as well as water. Supply
sufficient whatsoever times and also inspect
commonly to
stop dehydrated and
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to adult chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, after that
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to get a head start on taking
dust baths, while others will not take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to bathe in.
Interest and love There are a
few advantages to spending time with your chicks. To start
with, they will probably bond with you and
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
enjoy their behavior, you could
catch disease or other issues earlier. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
various other unhealthy
indications. Be sure to
likewise take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea could result in matted plumes as well
as clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is very
important to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the
smallest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now completely feathered
and its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and move outside into a
coop. Look into our
part on chicken coops for more information
concerning cages as well as
proper coop habitats.
