DIY Mania! How to make tissue paper poms!

Morning Fit Chicks, 

 

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!

These are the baby poms we super glued to a branch. What do you think?
Here you can see the large poms and and baby ones. We mixed the poms with white lanterns we had left over from our last oriental themed party! Grab them from your local $2 shop!

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

Line it with old towels as well as coverings (without any loose strings!) to start, as well as after a couple of weeks use straw over paper.

You likewise require something to provide food and water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water dish from the feed store, or a pickle container cover for food as well as an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet shop.

Heat To keep your chicks warm you should give them with a heat resource. This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat light bulb likewise work very well (my suggestion). Chicks need this warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is replaced with feathers (which can use up to 2 months). The newly hatched out require a temperature between 90 and also 100 degrees, as well as each week this could be reduced by roughly 5 levels approximately. The heat resource should be on simply one side of the cage to enable chicks a range of temperatures. The chicks are your best thermostat- if they are hiding in the contrary edge of your heat light, you need to reduce the temperature level. If they are surrounding each other under the heat (not simply curling up), you have to add some warmth. House cleaning Sanitation is essential and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make sure to change the bedding frequently and also constantly supply tidy food and water Food and also water. Chicks grow really quickly which needs lots of tidy food and also water. Offer enough at all times and examine frequently to stop parched as well as starving chicks.

Feed chick food for the very first two months, after that switch to a raiser food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for an additional 2 months, then to a slightly lower healthy protein feed or a level feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks want to obtain a head start on taking dirt baths, while others will not take up that task till they are older. If you have the area in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or filth for them to shower in. Focus and love There are a few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. To start with, they will certainly more than likely bond with you and also not run away as grownups. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily as well as enjoy their habits, you can capture ailment or other issues previously.
