So, I gave it a try! Let me know what you guys think-the good, the bad & the ugly! I am posting this because I got quite a few emails on the outcome, so hopefully this helps.
I used what I had, which was some 3 inch styrofoam balls (end result is about 6-7 inches with materials). I attached a strand of crystal-like garland first to the plain strofoam ball. I secured it with hot glue. Then, I started wrapping the feather boa around & round, being sure to attach with hot glue after the positioning was right. Depending on how full you want it, you can keep wrapping the feathers around.
Lastly, I experimented with one of the "blinged out" brooches that I got at Forever 21 a few weeks ago (posted with the ribbon bracelets).
I also added a little strand of crystal garland to the bottom of the pomander. I really don't plan to spend alot on brooches for each pomander, so I'm going to use vintage crystal earrings for the rest. That way, I can buy in sets. I am making a total of 10 pomanders....5 for each side of the aisle! The white pomander isn't mine. It was the inspiration.
When I made a pomander, I hot glued the ribbon on the ball and it didn't seem like it stuck very well.
Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need you to ask questions? This makes me want to slap all designers out there. These are off the chain! Well shall I say the crystal chain? HA! Approved by The Budget Queen!
