Drum roll, please. Today's favorite is great, inexpensive, and easy-to-make. (I promise.) I recently discovered these great decorations at a shower given for Jessie and her new baby Logan. (Gosh, Logan, I can't seem to blog without mentioning your sweet little baby self.) I immediatley inquired about the joyful bursts of color hanging over the punch bowl and gift table. Lesley Graham (a party hostess with the mostest) told me to check out Martha Stewart for the tips on how to make these lovely and colorful balls. I did follow Martha's advice, and for once - it was easy and simple. Not that I don't enjoy most of Martha's creations, but they are rarely ever simple, or inexpensive for that matter - so way to go Martha! Love it, thank you for making something that your average person can muster the attention span to complete.
I also discovered that the pom poms are easily made out of left over party napkins. Cayden (my 3 year old) helped me make these for his birthday. The blue polka dot one and the red and white with snowflakes are made out of small cocktail napkins. They are easier for children to work with because it does take some patience to open up the tissue paper without tearing the paper. The same method has been used for making tissue paper roses for HS floats for years, so you see some of Martha's ideas are recycled as well. (Shout out to Ann for that tip!) Hope you enjoy these. We certainly have.
Love it!
