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

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds

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
Brantwood Wisconsin 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 Brantwood,
Wisconsin Baby chicks are really
charming as well as
challenging to withstand,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by collecting not only the
correct products, yet
also the proper
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you just have to offer them with the following: A tidy and warm
habitat Lots of food and also water Interest as well as
love Habitat Your habitat can be a
simple box, fish tank,
feline carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without loose
strings!) to begin, and after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
newspaper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow
misshapen. You likewise need
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and an animal bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Also, as the chicks grow older you can present a perch
into the habitat to get them
educated on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
give them with a heat resource.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb likewise function very
well (my
referral). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could occupy to 2 months). The recently
hatched need a temperature level
in between 90 and 100 levels,
and weekly this could
be lowered by
about 5 levels approximately. The heat source should get on merely one side of the cage
to allow chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
contrary edge of your heat
light, you need to
reduce the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
warmth (not just curling up),
you have to put some warmth.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is key and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make sure to alter
the bed linens
commonly and also
always give tidy
food and water Food and water.
Chicks expand very quick
which needs a lot of tidy
food as well as water. Provide
sufficient at all times and also examine
typically to prevent parched and also
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to adult chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated and
also non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, after that
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
dust baths, while others will not use up that task up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Focus and also love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will more than likely bond with you and
not run away as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
watch their habits, you could
catch illness or various
other troubles earlier. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
various other harmful
signs. Make certain to
additionally take a look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could lead
to matted plumes and also clogged cloaca.
Finally, it is important to watch out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your home
and move outside right into a cage. Check out our
section on chicken cages for more information
about cages and
proper coop habitats.
