How To Make Chair Sashes

Chair sashes add a wonderful drama to your chairs. Guests can appreciate the delicate beauty that chair sashes provide to an event. You commonly see chair sashes on wedding chairs at the ceremony or the reception. Chair sashes are also used on chairs for large parties or even intimate ttette.

One advantage of using chair sashes is that these can be reused unlike fresh flowers. You can opt for a basic neutral color for the sash and simply accessorize or update it depending on the theme of the event.

Step 2 Prepare the fabric. If you are using tulle or ribbon, cut a 12 by 36 inch piece sash (or longer depending on the size of the chairs). The number of sashes you end up with should be the same number as the chairs. If you are using a different type of fabric, each piece should be about 15 x 39 inches long. The extra fabric is for the hem.

Step 3 Sew the hems. This step is only done if you are using a fabric that needs to be hemmed. If you are using tulle or ribbon, proceed to the next step. Some fabrics easily get frayed. Sewing a hem on the sides protects the sash from unraveling. Plus it makes the sash look neater. Work on one side first. Fold 1 " from one side to make a hem and sew this side. It is easier to use a sewing machine for making the hem. Continue with the other three sides.

Step 4 Attach the sash to the http://www.monclerstore.co.uk/ chair. With each hand holding one end of the sash, wrap the sash around the chair. The ends should be at the back of the chair. Make a simple knot then tie a bow (just like when you tie your shoelace). Your chair now has a chair sash.

Tip: You can also add embellishments and other decorative materials to the sash. Fresh or silk flowers and foliage are a wonderful addition. Attach beads, pearls or faux gems with a glue gun. But do keep the embellishments to a tasteful level.
