Weddingbee boards

For tissue paper pomanders - I made 10 (along with other projects).  Here's what it took me:

• About 2 hours total to cut paper.  I was using it for a lot of projects, so your time would likely be less. I used a rotary cutter and yardstick on a plastic table to cut a lot faster.
• About 2-4 hours cutting wire to the proper length (again, I made almost 1,000 flowers so a lot of time)
• Averaged 2 minutes to fold and wrap each flower.
• Add another minute to round the edges (I would wait to cut them until I ahd a lot to do)
• 3 minutes to fluff them (took longer at first)
• A minute or so to cut the ribbon to hang them with
• The actual 'building' goes pretty quickly as long as you have a bunch of flowers ready to go.  I used a 4" styrofoam ball as a base (the largest size I could buy in 2 packs which is cheaper than singles) and it took on average 40 flowers for each... which is also about what fits in a plastic grocery bag when they're fluffed :)

It's definitely a labor of love, but I'm so glad I did them!!! 

And... the worst part I thought was cutting the 22 gauge wire!  That's tough... and the actual building of them will start to hurt your fingertips :) 

You're welcome!  Here's the post I just made showing everything I completed... I'm likely adding some napkin rings in, but at least the big stuff is done!
