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
Orange Grove Texas 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 Orange Grove,
Texas Baby chicks are very
adorable and
challenging to withstand,
yet it's best to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by collecting not only the
proper products, however
likewise the proper
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
straightforward, you simply have to supply them with the following: A
clean and warm
environment Plenty of food and also water Attention as well as
love Habitat Your habitat can be an easy box, fish tank,
feline carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (without loose
strings!) to start, and also after a
couple of weeks use straw over paper.
Note: Avoid utilizing just
paper or various other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You additionally need
something to provide food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also a pet dog bird water dispenser from an animal store. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you could present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you should
offer them with a warmth source.
This can be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally function effectively (my
referral). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can take up to two months). The freshly
hatched need a temperature
in between 90 and 100 levels,
as well as weekly this can
be reduced by
roughly 5 degrees or
so. The heat resource need to get on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your heat
light, you have to
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not merely cuddling),
you should add some heat.
Housekeeping
Tidiness is crucial and also it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to change
the bed linen
commonly and also
consistently supply tidy
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks grow quite quick
which calls for a lot of clean
food as well as water. Offer
sufficient at all times and inspect
often to
stop parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, as well as it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, then
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and afterwards to a somewhat
lower protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others won't use up that task till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Attention and also love There are a
few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. To start
with, they will certainly probably bond with you and also
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
view their habits, you could
capture illness or various
other troubles earlier. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or
various other unhealthy
indicators. Make certain to
likewise consider
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can result in matted plumes and also obstructed cloaca.
Lastly, it is very
important to look out
for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are currently fully feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your residence
and relocate outside into a
coop. Have a look at our
area on chicken coops to learn more
about cages and
proper cage environments.
