DIY POMANDERS

supplies i used:

styrofoam orbs ( i bought mine at michael's, but if you're doing alot, you can buy them for less on ebay about 12 5" balls for $20-$25 ) http://stores.ebay.com/LA-Crafts-Online

i pair of wire cutter-type scissors:



styrofoam glue:



flower:



cut the stem so there is about 1.5" left; cut at an angle so it's easier to "stab" the styrofoam:



dip the stem in the glue; find an empty spot on the styrofoam - and just insert the stem into the styrofoam:

BUMPING for all the newbies!

have fun!

I still have nightmares about making all mine! I used a hotglue gun (ouch my fingers)

I still have 4 red pomanders for sale if anyone is interested!

this may be a silly question - but what are these used for?

line the aisle:

or as a floral element on your tables

or if your church or venue doesnt allow real petals b/c they stain the floor, flowergirl can carry a smaller version

or hang them from anywhere...

and you dont have to use ribbon, you can use anything!

======================

if youi dont want to do the hot glue and silk florals, do this way and use round lanterns instead:

Dirty.. you are the bomb! CAZAM!!!!
