Valentines Day Party with DIY Rose Pomander
Special Occasion East is getting ready for Valentines Day with a special pre-day party. For this event we chose to decorate in reds and pinks .
The dining table and buffet were decorated in a ruby red satin tablecloth, pink poly napkins and silver chargers. All of which are available at Special Occasions East of Grand Blanc, MI.
The center of the table is decorated in a pink and white damask runner available at http://www.spoccdesign.com/ ($20) and a DIY rose centerpiece which you can learn how to make below.
We decorated the buffet to match the table setting with a ruby red satin linen and damask runner. We also added a DIY rose pomander to this table along with Valentines themed goodies for our guests to enjoy.
Arent these adorable! These cute valentines day cake pops were the hit of the party. Available from Cooke Confections in Linden, MI.
The party was alot of fun and enjoyed by all.

DIY ROSE POMANDER INSTRUCTIONS:
What you will need:
2 rolls of colored paper streamers ( I got mine at the dollar store)
hot glue gun
glue sticks
3″ styrofoam ball (you can choose any size)
Start by cutting a strip of paper streamer about 24″ long. You will want to vary the length each time to make different sized roses.
Fold the paper over about 1/3 of the width the entire length of the piece.
Next you will want to start at one end and roll the paper into a rose between your fingers. Its best to twist the paper once in awile to get a more realistic look.
You will want to add a small dot of glue at the end when you finish to keep the rose from unraveling.
Next add glue to the bottom of the rose and affix to your styrofoam ball to cover.
Once you cover the entire ball, find a nice vase to display it on and your done! I also added ribbon to the base of my vase for a finished look, however you can add rocks or anything that inspires you.
Enjoy!
