Here is a great idea for a cheap and functional table dressing. This is particularly great for functions where you may require a writing utensil such as shower or party with games. If you do not know already how to make a half pom, see my pom making tutorial <click here>. The poms here are attached to pencils and pens. and placed in a vase. There are so many ways to tailor this to your event. You can add battery operated lights or glow sticks to the vase for illumination. You can have pens or pencils personalized for your event. |
Everything about it is customizable to your event…the colors, the style of holder (can be vase, mug, pencil cup…whatever you choose). The pom can easily be removed and you are still left with a pen or pencil. After a quick look for pricing (no comparison shopping), you can make 96 pom favors on personalized pencils to fit into 12 centerpieces (that would be 12 tables/8 guests per table) for $82.00. Again, I said this is without comparison shopping, using any deals or anything like that. That comes down to $6.83 per centerpiece which includes favors per eight person table.
Prices were based on WalMart for tissue paper, Oriental Trading Company for personalized pencils, craft store/dollar store for vases, ribbon and rubber bands.
