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
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to
their site and request one if you are interested.
Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs
that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in
Leopolis Wisconsin * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best

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
Leopolis 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 Leopolis,
Wisconsin Baby chicks are very
adorable and
hard to withstand,
but it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
proper products, however
likewise the appropriate
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
straightforward, you just have to supply them with the following: A
clean and also warm
habitat Plenty of food and also water Focus and
love Environment Your environment can be an easy box, fish tank,
feline service provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (without any loose
strings!) to begin, and also after a
couple of weeks use straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid using only
paper or other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You additionally need
something to provide food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food as well as a pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Also, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch
into the habitat to obtain them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
supply them with a warmth resource.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb also function effectively (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which can occupy to two months). The newly
hatched out require a temperature
in between 90 as well as 100 levels,
and each week this could
be reduced by
roughly 5 degrees approximately. The warmth resource should get on simply one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
contrary edge of your warmth
light, you need to
minimize the temperature. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
heat (not simply snuggling),
you have to add some warmth.
House cleaning
Tidiness is vital as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to change
the bed linens
commonly and also
consistently offer clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks expand really fast
which requires a lot of clean
food as well as water. Provide
enough whatsoever times as well
as check
commonly to
stop parched as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, and also it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, after that
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks prefer to get a head start on taking
dirt baths, while others won't use up that activity till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. First off, they will certainly probably bond with you as well as
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
view their behavior, you can
catch illness or other troubles earlier. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or
other undesirable
signs. Make certain to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea could lead
to matted plumes as well
as blocked cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining badgered. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathered
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your home
as well as move outside right into a cage. Check out our
section on chicken cages to get more information
about coops and also
proper cage environments.
