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
Jonestown Pennsylvania 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 Jonestown,
Pennsylvania Baby chicks are very
charming and
challenging to resist,
yet it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by gathering not only the
appropriate products, however
likewise the proper
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
easy, you just have to offer them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
habitat Plenty of food as well
as water Focus as well as
love Environment Your environment could be a basic box, fish tank,
feline service provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (without loosened
strings!) to start, and also after a
couple of weeks use straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
newspaper or other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow
misshapen. You additionally require
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a pet dog bird water dispenser from an animal store. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
trained on perching. Warmth To
keep your chicks warm you need to
give them with a heat source.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb also work extremely well (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could take up to two months). The recently
hatched need a temperature level
between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
and also each week this could
be decreased by
approximately 5 degrees approximately. The heat resource ought
to get on merely one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite corner of your warmth
lamp, you need to
lower the temperature level. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not simply curling up),
you should add some heat.
House cleaning
Tidiness is essential and also it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to transform
the bedding
typically and
constantly provide clean
food as well as water Food and also water.
Chicks grow extremely quick
which calls for plenty of clean
food and water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times and examine
often to prevent dehydrated and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks want
to obtain a head start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others will not occupy that task up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
room, present 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. To start
with, they will certainly most
likely bond with you as well as
not escape as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
see their habits, you can
capture illness or various
other troubles previously. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Make sure to
also check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could cause matted plumes and also clogged up cloaca.
Finally, it is important to watch out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick obtaining teased. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety of your house
as well as move outside right into a cage. Have a look at our
section on chicken coops for more information
about cages as well as
appropriate cage habitats.
