Guess what?? I made my first puffball!
Yes, this was around Christmas. Hence the ornaments.
So, it kind of looks more like a really large, lopsided, blue loofah...
...but that's ok. It was my first one.
And there's a good chance it may be my last.
I've recently become obsessed with these
loofahs tissue paper puff balls (or pom poms, whatever), and am seriously torn if I'd rather have lots of them at our venue instead of paper lanterns, which was my first instinct. Are they seen all over the wedding world right now? Yes. But I'm pretty sure there's a reason for that. Like.. because they're gorgeous.
I mean, just take a look!
They make me giddy just looking at them!
I originally figured this would be a perfect chance for me to get all DIY and show some tissue paper who's boss. It could be a cost effective way to get chic, simple decor, right? And it's not like I'm short on time or anything.
However.. after making the one, I'm not sure it's worth it for me to make all of them. I'm all for DIY, but I'm also lazy. Especially when I have a bunch of other DIY projects going on/in planning stages. A much simpler (albeit pricier) solution would be to just scour
Etsy - there are tons of sellers like
Prost to the Host that offer the poms in all different sizes and colors. All I would need to do is depuff them a day or two before the wedding!
So there's my dilemma: to DIY pom, or not to DIY pom. WWtHD (what would the hive do)?
