It is way cheaper to make them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-649974 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:33:03 +0000 fussygal 649974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a ton of those for my wedding! It doesn't take long, but if Etsy has the colors you want I think you should get them there. The cost of supplies + your time would probably be about the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-649939 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:16:56 +0000 plantains 649939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: It will take me a couple of months to get it done but I will post an update for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-649904 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:07:01 +0000 Ash 649904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: you're welcome!

It is just so hard not seeing the colours in person. I can't really tell if stuff is the right colour or not.

They were kind of time consuming and a pain in the butt to make but I'd say for as many as we made, it was a better deal.</p> <p>We bought 2 colors: white and eggplant and have a ton leftover... so I use it for gift bags all the time.

Maybe I'll have to stick to making 9 poms out of three colours? After purchasing the floral wore and the monofilament for hanging, I am probably looking at around $30 to make em vs $40-45 when you include shipping to buy them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-644652 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:59:14 +0000 plantains 644652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Oooh, I forgot about Paper Presentation. I lived there when I was wedding planning. Maybe I'll swing by there and see what they have to offer. I have never tried Jam Paper, I'll check it out.</p> <p>@Bluebonnet: there probably is somewhere in the boonies, but like everything else in New York, there is just so much fluff to wade through it becaomes really tough to track things down. </p> <p>If I was making in bulk for a wedding, I would 100 percent DIY. It would be by far the cheapest option. I'm just not to sure about making 8-10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-644639 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:55:03 +0000 Bluebonnet 644639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: If you are in NYC, there must be another party supply store (other than Party City) or a gift wrap/packaging store that sells multiple colors of tissue paper.</p> <p>Wish I could be more helpful, but I'm certain there must be a place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-644629 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:52:46 +0000 mrsjazz 644629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: Locally, you can try Paper Presentation or Jam Paper. Although I'm sure there might be some places online with good shipping where you can buy--you just wouldn't see the color in person.</p> <p>You could check out those stores and their paper selection and then calculate whether you should make or buy. Factor in the cost of your hard labor in the decision, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-644520 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:34:46 +0000 plantains 644520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bumpity bumping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-644439 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:10:37 +0000 plantains 644439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: I think you may be right about running into issues with the colours I want.</p> <p>@Bluebonnet: I am in NYC, and cant think of where to get tissue in multiple shades.

Our local party supply warehouse has tons of pom poms in all sorts of colors.</p> <p>I've made the pom poms before. Its not hard, but time consuming. There is a local packaging store (boxes, wrapping paper, tissue paper, etc) and they sell tissue paper in every shade you can think of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-644335 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:46:09 +0000 yin 644335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be easier to buy through Etsy. I can buy color tissue paper at my local party store for $2.50 for 20 sheets in a single color. For 4 colors that would be $10 (assuming they have the colors you want for the nursery). Each pom requires between 8-10 sheets of tissue paper. While it is cheaper to buy the supplies, I think you may run into issues finding the colors you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pom-poms-for-nursery-buy-or-diy#post-644146 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:01:44 +0000 plantains 644146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have poms in the baby's nursery that you made yourself? I am fairly crafty and made a lot of stuff for my wedding. </p> <p>I want to put a bunch of coral, peach, pink and tan poms in the corner of LO's room. I thought I would make them initially, but after shelling out so much money to buy our place I am on a budget. I am now wondering if it isn't just more cost effective to buy some. They cost about 4 dollars each on Etsy or 5 for 17.50. </p> <p>Did you make or buy your poms? WWYD? </p>
