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

catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to
their site and request one if you are interested.
Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs
that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in
Wibaux Montana * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best

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
Wibaux Montana 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 Wibaux,
Montana Baby chicks are very
charming and
challenging to stand up to,
but it's best to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by compiling not just the
right products, yet
also the appropriate
expertise to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you just need
to supply them with the following: A tidy and also warm
environment Plenty of food and also water Attention and also
love Environment Your habitat can be a basic box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without loose
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using only
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You also need
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
lid for food and also a pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Also, as the chicks get
older you could introduce a perch
into the environment to get them
trained on setting down. Warmth To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
give them with a warmth source.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb likewise function extremely well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could use
up to 2 months). The newly
hatched need a temperature level
between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
and every week this can
be minimized by
around 5 levels or
so. The heat source ought
to be on simply one side of the cage
to allow chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your heat
lamp, you need to
decrease the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not just cuddling),
you need to add some heat.
Housekeeping
Cleanliness is key and also it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to change
the bed linens
typically as well as
always offer clean
food as well as water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow very quick
which needs a lot of clean
food as well as water. Give
sufficient in any way times as well
as check
commonly to prevent parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, as well as it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, then
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
then to a slightly
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks want
to get a running start on taking
dust bathrooms, 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
filth for them to wash in.
Interest and love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will certainly most
likely bond with you as well as
not flee as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
watch their habits, you can
capture illness or various
other troubles previously. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
various other harmful
indicators. Make certain to
likewise check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could bring about matted feathers and also blocked cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and relocate outside into a cage. Take a look at our
part on chicken coops to get more information
about coops and also
appropriate coop habitats.
