Fun Decorations For Your Next Party

This reviewer received the product free or at a discounted price in order to bring you an honest review. No other form of compensation was given. All opinions are those of the reviewer.

Who doesn't like a party? Okay, I know some people don't, but for the most part, people do. I love parties and it is always fun to have colorful or themed decorations for them.

Use4Party has some fun decorations that are colorful easy to use and really add a lot to your special event. They make some really nice Tissue Paper Pom Poms in 2 sizes (12" and 14") and in 6 different colors (Red, Blue, Orange, Purple, Green, Yellow).

The Pom Poms come to you flat and in their own individual packages with a ribbon to use in making and hanging them. They are easy to get ready to hang too. It takes very little time to complete one, so getting all of them prepared and hung up is going to be quick and make your party space look fantastic.

I love the direction sheet they provide with the Pom Poms. It is detailed and even offers cautions on being careful with the tissue paper since it can tear easily.

As I did the first part of the Pom Pom, I didn't have any serious trouble. Pulling apart the layers of tissue paper was fairly easy, although I took it slow so I would not rip any of it. The second side I learned a lot on. I noticed that I was not pulling the tissue paper up far enough from the center fold, making that side shorter than the first. After looking it over carefully, it was easy to rectify and the Pom Pom started to look the way it was supposed to. There are a total of 9 layers of tissue paper to open up, so I made sure I pulled 4 to one side and 4 to the other, keeping the 9th in the center.

One thing you do need to make sure of is after doing the first side keep the ribbon out from the center so you don't have to dig around in the opened tissue paper to find it.

Side one completed!

When you are done with both sides, you can fluff the tissue paper to look more ball shaped and even. You may have to tugged a little here and there to open it up more or to get the tissue paper to pull away from other pieces more, but if you are careful it should not be too hard and the ball shape will be there in the end. Remember, they will be hanging from the ceiling, so no one is going to get up too close to see how exact your work is!

I was really pleased with the colors they had in this package. They are bright, yet not in your face neon. All of the colors coordinate with each other too, so you have a really nice color theme. I also liked that they are colors that I can find easily in my local party store, so I will be able to get table covers, napkins, plates and more that will go along with these Pom Poms very well.

Now the package that I received to review only had the Pom Poms in it, but on the one you can purchase they also have 6 Fiesta Paper Fans in similar colors. Those can offer even more variety and excitement to your decorating theme.

You can purchase the Use4Party Tissue Paper Pom Poms and Fiesta Paper Fans HERE!

Do You Know How Much Our Freedom Cost Many Of The Founding Fathers?

Some things to think about when you celebrate this weekend! Our freedom was not Free!

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton , Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
