We recently had the pleasure of working with Marie on designing a set in chevron and polka dots for her little girl Lauren’s 1st birthday party. Lauren is a big fan of her Vulli Sophie La Giraffe, so that had to be in there as well! We supplied a few items to her and she was able to use them all in many different ways to achieve a truly custom look to her party. Talk about a crafty mamma! This party was originally posted at my good friend Lili’s blog at swanky::chic::fete…you can go there to see the complete set of pictures from this stunner of an event.

 

I love how she used the custom circles to personalize her cups, party hats and boxes, and even used them for cupcake toppers, too! And I’m also a huge fan of all the coordinating fabric she was able to find–she used fabric.com for the fun chevron prints! Be sure to see the rest of the photos at swanky::chic::fete.

And now for the wildly anticipated conclusion of how to make a tissue pouf ball/pom pom arrangement! Now that you have your three pouf balls made, you're going to figure what the heck you did with dowel rods/shiskabob skewers while you were playing with all that tissue paper.  Gently look through the flower petals until you find the floral wire. Place the top of the dowel rod as far to { Read More! }

I've had a few requests on how to make these fluffy little tissue poufs/balls/pom-poms. I promised I would do a tutorial, and I've finally gotten to it! Tissue poms are so versatile--hanging from the ceiling, sticking up out of the ground like giant flowers, or, like I'm going to explain today, as pretty "flower" arrangements. They do look a bit like peonies or hydrangeas (if you squint your { Read More! }
