    Hi Ladies

    I was inspired by another bride on on weddingbycolor with her ribbon pomanders. http://www.weddingbycolor.com/erayitas7/milestones/103144 < for instructions

    And decided to create my own.

    My pictures didnt come out clear and they look alot better hanging than squashed on my living room table as in the photos.

    But you get the idea :) I really like them!!!!!!  only another 10 more to make.. :(

    about an hour each? These two were my experimentals. I used a 5 inch styrofoam ball.

    I measured all the strips into four inches which took about half an hour... used about 100 pins? but i wasnt really counting. and ended up with one very sore thumb from pushing the pins in!

    Can you use a thimble? 

    They look terrific, btw.  Vibrant and unique.  I love them!

    I love these. I made sample fabric and ribbon pomanders and the fiance liked the fabric ones better. Too bad they're taking me so much longer (about four hours each)

    Complicated to put together? or just look too busy?

    I just filled it till there were no gaps and put them in no real methodical order, just tried not to have one colored ribbon next to the same colored. I did it while i was watching a movie with the FH, didnt take much concentration!

    Love them!  Where are you going to use them?  Ceremony?  Reception hung from the celiing?  For some reason I think these would look really great hung from the ceiling...
