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

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds

pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros

Chicks Order in
Mesa, Washington
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
Mesa Washington 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 Mesa,
Washington Baby chicks are very
cute as well as
challenging to withstand,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by collecting not just the
proper products, however
likewise the appropriate
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
easy, you just should provide them with the following: A
clean and also warm
habitat Lots of food as well
as water Interest and
love Environment Your habitat can be an easy box, fish tank,
cat service provider, or guinea
porker cage. 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.
Note: Avoid making use of only
paper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. 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. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you could introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on setting down. 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. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and it is available in both medicated and
also non-medicated ranges. 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. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
various other unhealthy
indicators. Make sure to
additionally consider
their poop, as diarrhea could bring about matted feathers and blocked cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick obtaining teased. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are now completely feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety of your house
as well as move outside right into a cage. Look into our
area on chicken coops to read more
concerning cages as well as
correct coop environments.
