Because you see, when you drink and DIY, you’re bound to make mistakes. Mistakes that you’ll likely have to go back and fix. Especially when you and one of your MOHs get together after a year of being in separate countries, and um, a box of Franzia (I mean, they were all out of Andre… what do you expect).
This led to the exposure of my inner mathematical genius… where 50 - 15 = 45. And where I forgot to purchase half of the ribbon we’d need (okay… I did that one sober). Not to mention inside out belly band bows and tissue paper flowers with *slight* differences.
Oops.
The more you know…
Your poms look great tho! I just started making mine too, the ends are so hard to cut I can’t believe it!
how do you make these? i love them - mind putting up a how to?
@lizzie: Have no fear, a how to is on the way! I just wanted to finish my whole practice ball before I shared it with you guys 
great - i can’t wait! thanks!!
I’m so impressed! I can’t wait for the how-to! I’d love to use them to decorate our rehearsal dinner spot, but don’t know if it’s do-able the week of our wedding (since that’s when we get there). Great job!
Your poms are too cute — the perfect blend of spiky and fluffy!
UH-OH! I’m a glass of vino in, with rollers in my hair. FI is on his bachelor weekend and I’m working on my hair DIY trial. If mine ends half as well as yours, I’ll be impressed with myself! Your poms are gorgeous!!
HAHAH! This post has inspired me to grab a box o’ wine (just like we used to in college!), my BMs and make some poms! Can’t wait to see the how-to, because they look great!
Haha! I know exactly what you mean when you put together yourself, your MOH and wine!
If its any consolation your poms look GREAT!
LMAO about the Franzia!
Are these the Martha Stewart poms? They look amazing. I’m planning on doing the mini version on my napkin rings. (or rather, I’m planning on getting my bridesmaids to HELP me make 150 of them)
heehee
We had girlfriends, vino and copious amounts of wine whilst assembling invitations. Needless to say, the paper cutter was put to use the next day to do some, ah, straightening out. oops!
I choreographed a show in college for my theatre group, and I always did my best work after a few cocktails 
Fabulous poms! See how great poms are? Even when you were buzzed they came out beautifully!

Oh, I so drank and diy’d… Someone should issue citations for that! It was helpful with some of the more monotonous tasks, though
I love how 90% of brides do their best DIY work after a few glasses, bottles, or boxes
