Baby's Breath Pom Tutorial (And What Non To Do)

 

I had seen several beautiful examples of Baby's Breath Pom's on Pinterest in addition to inward magazines but I couldn't discovery a tutorial for 1 despite looking in addition to looking. I figured it couldn't last difficult thence I idea I would laissez passer on it a shot in addition to accept pictures every bit I went. I tried making business office of 1 at dwelling a few weeks before in addition to used floral foam that I soaked in addition to I was actually happy amongst how it turned out. For Lola's political party nosotros only went amongst dry out foam, figuring that would brand them lighter in addition to easier to hang - that was a big mistake. We made them on Midweek in addition to the political party was going to last Sat evening. By Fri they were already getting sort of dried upwards in addition to shriveled looking. =( So, hither is a footstep past times footstep how nosotros made them, but I would HIGHLY recommend getting the floral foam that yous tin soak if yous are going to brand them to a greater extent than than a solar daytime or 2 ahead of time. I induce got to tell I was actually disappointed inward how they looked past times the fourth dimension of her party. They had looked thence beautiful only a few days earlier!

So, amongst that trivial disclaimer, hither is the footstep past times step:

First nosotros bought those long logs of floral foam at Michael's. They came inward a pack of four. Going that road was WAY cheaper than buying spheres. One sphere solitary was to a greater extent than expensive than the whole pack of the rectangular foam which nosotros could acquire 8 in addition to 12 of our ain "home-made" spheres out of.

We took 1 of the rectangles in addition to cutting it into 3 foursquare cubes.

 

Then nosotros used a knife in addition to sort of "whittled" away at the corners to acquire far to a greater extent than of a sphere. It doesn't require to last perfect, or anything unopen to perfect. You only require to acquire a vague shape.

Then nosotros cutting downwards the baby's breath into trivial bunches similar this.

Now for the fun part, start poking them into the foam!

And before yous acquire to far into it, necktie some wrap or raffia only about your foam thence that yous tin hang these.

And in addition to thence yous only proceed on going. Once yous induce got it all filled inward cutting some trivial bunches inward dissimilar lengths that yous tin purpose to produce total inward spots to help acquire far into a dainty looking circle/sphere. And that's it!
 I actually loved the light, airy await of these in addition to conception on making to a greater extent than inward the hereafter - I volition only brand certain to acquire dorsum to purpose the floral foam that tin last soaked!

 You tin come across to a greater extent than pictures from Lola's political party here.

I promise yous all induce got a wonderful Tuesday!
