Do it yourself Save the dates, ADORABLE! Cute and simple way to save money on paying for save the dates!
Supplies:
Styrofoam Balls: Sold at craft stores such as Michaels. For this guide, Marina used 3” balls.
Tissue Paper: For each pomander, you’ll need approximately 72 sheets of tissue paper cut to be 5” x 7”
Scissors
Wire: Sold at hardware stores
Wire Cutters: Sold at hardware stores
Cost: $2 - $5 each
Cut each sheet of tissue paper to 5” x 7”.
Stack 4 sheets of tissue and fan fold all the way up.
Tie some wire around the middle of the tissue. You’ll need to play around with it to get a feel for how much you’ll need. Be sure to leave a little extra since that’s what you stick in the Styrofoam
Start pulling the tissue sheets up one at a time. Left then Right. Continue until all the tissue is pulled up and it looks like a flower.
Stick the wire under the flower in the Styrofoam ball. Keep placing flowers all the way the ball until it’s full. Play around with the placement to make the flower as tight or loose as you’d like.
Kiwi is my favorite fruit, so i love this idea.. this would be a great color for a wedding as well!
