A friend of mine had gotten engaged, so I told her I wanted to throw a Bridal Shower for her. She planned to have a country chic wedding theme, with sunflowers and burlap, and it inspired me to decorate for her shower with the same theme. I looked for ideas of things to incorporate into the party decor, and came across pom poms, it was perfect. Once I found out what I needed, I created my own version of it.
For the next event that you celebrate that you want to add a cute, original touch to, here is the DIY blog for how to create your very own pom poms.
What you’ll Need:
- Flowers of choice with short stem
- About a yard of string such as Jute or Hemp
- Wood skewer
- Monkey glue
- 3 Foam balls in different sizes
- Thick bead to secure string
Steps:
- Poke a hole through the middle of a foam ball with a wood skewer and pull the string through, tying the end. You can use a thick bead to secure the string from falling out.
- Cut the extra stem from the flowers and leave only about an inch from the end to the base of the flower.
- Apply glue to the end of the flower and push into the foam ball. Hold for about 20 seconds.
Tip: To avoid getting glue on hands, wear a thick glove. Be careful and try not to get the monkey glue on your hands because it is very difficult to get off, and leaves a rough feeling to your hands.
- Continue to add flowers all around until the foam ball isn’t exposed.
- Allow to dry and you are finished!
