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
Lehi Utah 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 Lehi,
Utah Baby chicks are very
cute and
challenging to withstand,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by collecting not just the
correct materials, however
additionally the appropriate
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
easy, you simply need
to offer them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
habitat Plenty of food and also water Interest and
love Environment Your habitat could be a straightforward box, fish tank,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to start, as well as after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using only
paper or other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You also require
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle jar
lid for food as well as a pet dog bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you could present a perch
right into the environment to get them
trained on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
give them with a heat resource.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb likewise function very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The recently
hatched out require a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and every week this can
be decreased by
approximately 5 levels or
so. The heat source ought
to get on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary edge of your warmth
lamp, you should
minimize the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not simply cuddling),
you have to put some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is crucial as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to alter
the bed linens
typically and
always provide tidy
food as well as water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow quite quickly
which needs plenty of tidy
food and water. Supply
enough at all times as well
as check
commonly to
stop thirsty and
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, and it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, after that
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
and then to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to get a running start on taking
filth baths, while others will not occupy that task up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Attention as well as love There are a
few advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly probably bond with you and also
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
watch their actions, you can
capture health problem or other issues earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
various other unhealthy
indications. Make certain to
also look at
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted feathers as well
as clogged cloaca.
Finally, it is very
important to look out
for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are currently fully feathery
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your residence
as well as move outside right into a
coop. Look into our
part on chicken coops to read more
regarding coops and
proper cage environments.
