About nancyliuchin

We love doing stuff for little children. These green pom pom mums are great for doing pave designs, like this ring bearer pillow with peacock/aqua ribbon and a row of dainty flowers.

To make this ring bearer pillow you will need:

-1 bundle of green pom pom mums
-1 brick of green Oasis form
-Assorted ribbon
-Assorted dainty flowers
-Box of straight pins
-Long corsage pins


First, you take a piece of green Oasis. Do not soak it in water. Cut the brick in half vertically not horizontal. Take one of the half pieces, and cut horizontally so that you have a brick which is approximately 1.5 inch in height by 3.5 by 3.5 inches. Soak this small piece in water. Remove from water when it is completely soaked, and then make sure it is dry enough to use. Cut the green pom pom mums so that they have at least a 3/4 inch stem, and cover the entire brick of wet foam with mums. You can use straight pins to help you secure (optional). Take ribbon and wrap around the center.

When finished with the pillow, add some accessories. We finished this one with two small dainty mums and one single white ranunculus. We fastened them to the pillow with long corsage pins in aqua to match the decor of the wedding.

The flower girl also has to have something really special, and we love doing these pom pom covered baskets. To make this basket, all you need are mums, ribbons, and a glue gun. Glue away! We finished the basket with streamers in peacock/aqua.

Enjoy!

I love love love these tutorials! Here’s my question: what’s the trick to making a sturdy fresh pomander? I tried making one of my own and completely failed! (water was dripping from my foam, stems kept breaking as I pushed them into the foam, etc). Would you mind sharing your expert tips and advice?

How long would something like this keep? Should you make it the day before or the day of..?

We made these one day before the event. I saw the little girl walk down the aisle and it was still perfect after being out all day long. Of course, the weather in the Bay Area is very mild.
Must refrigerate.
