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

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

Baby Chicks Buy in
Hawk Springs, Wyoming
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
Hawk Springs Wyoming 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 Hawk Springs,
Wyoming Baby chicks are quite
charming and
hard to resist,
but it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by compiling not just the
correct products, however
also the correct
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you just have to provide them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
environment Lots of food and water Focus as well as
love Habitat Your environment can be a basic box, fish tank,
cat provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (with no loosened
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using just
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You also need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle jar
lid for food and a pet bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Additionally, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
right into the habitat to get them
educated on setting down. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you need to
supply them with a warmth resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also function very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could take up to two months). The recently
hatched out need a temperature
between 90 and also 100 levels,
and every week this can
be lowered by
roughly 5 degrees approximately. The heat source ought
to be on merely one side of the cage
to enable chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary corner of your heat
light, you have to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not merely snuggling),
you need to add some warmth.
Home cleaning
Sanitation is vital and it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to transform
the bed linen
usually and also
always offer tidy
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks grow extremely quick
which needs plenty of clean
food and water. Offer
sufficient in any way times and examine
frequently to avoid dehydrated as well as
starving chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
then to a somewhat
reduced protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to obtain a running start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others won't use up that activity till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Focus as well as love There are a
few advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. First off, they will certainly most
likely bond with you and also
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and also
view their habits, you could
catch ailment or various
other troubles earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other harmful
indicators. Be sure to
also check out
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes as well
as stopped up cloaca.
Finally, it is essential to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick obtaining badgered. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are currently fully feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety of your house
and also relocate outside right into a cage. Look into our
area on chicken cages to learn more
regarding coops and
appropriate coop habitats.
