DIY Gum Drop Wreath



I don't think this wreath would last very long at my house, and a trash
can would have to be close by for the toothpicks.   But this is so cute
and my family would LOVE it.  
I have to make it, and soon, maybe for Spencer's Birthday!

DIY Wall Flowers








Napkins make these flowers more sturdy than tissue paper.



I've made pom poms out of tissue paper before but these look 
like giant flowers and would be lovely hanging right on the wall. 
Don't you love them?

Happy Birthday Door Wreath


Having so many kids and now grandkids I love having family traditions that everyone
looks forward to and depends on.   A birthday wreath for the front door is a great idea.

Pom Poms and Luminarias


How to Make the Pom Poms  
You'll need tissue paper and 24 gauge white cloth covered floral wire

1.   Stack eight  20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue.   Make 1 1/2-inchwide accordian folds, creasing with each fold. 

2.   Fold and 18-inch piece of floral wire in half and slip over center of folded tissue; twist with scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes. 

3.   Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time. 

4.   Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging.





Napkin Rings

With just a few changes, these follow the same steps as the hanging pom poms.

1.   Stack four sheets of tissue, cut a 10 by 5 inch rectangle, going through all layers.   Make 3/8 in wide accordion folds.
2.   Fold and 18 inch piece of floral wire in half, slip over center of tissue, and twist to secure.  Trim ends of tissue.
3.   Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time. 
4.   Bend wire into a loop to fit around napkin, and twist end around loop to secure.
