Chair Cover help please...

Hi!  Does anyone have a super inexpensive cute way to cover folding chairs?  I can't afford the ones at Bed Bath and am having 16 guests for Christmas this year.

Thanks!

Here are a lot of different choics that are very reasonable, ex 4 for $10

Otherwise, just tie a wide ribbon around the backs, maybe with a jingle bell on them or something...

Here are some ideas:

Instructions for these DIY Covers:


You can also call a local linen vendor and see what the cost is to just rent them.

It may just cheaper to rent nicer chairs for the day than to bother with covers.  Google around - renting party items can be quite reasonable.

I love the simple hemmed rectangle draped over the folding chair with the ribbon. I might use that for my new years eve party.

You might even be able to just rent chair covers.  There's this website:

Or sometimes you can purchase them for cheap.  If you buy a neutral you can change the ribbon out for different occasions.  Here's a site for that:

 I just googled to get those sites.

Will you just be using them for this year or will you use them mulitiple times over the years to come? 

If you are only using them this year, then I would rent the covers. I did this for my wedding and found good covers for between $1 and $6 a piece.

If you are going to use them mulitple times in the future, then I think that it makes more sense to invest in the materials and make your own ... something along the lines of the examples given by a pp.

Thank you for all of these ideas!  I really appreciate it.

It's actually cheaper to just rent a better quality chair then to do chair covers.... chairs are all different sizes and they don't always fit right. Look up rental companies in your area. Go in and look at the different styles of chairs they have and don't forget to place your order early.
