How to Make a Wedding Chair Sash

Wedding chair sashes are elegant decor items that can transform the look of any event space. They are inexpensive and easy to make, making them a great DIY project for weddings or other special events.

Below is a step-by-step guide to making a wedding chair sash:

Materials Needed

- 1 yard of sheer or chiffon fabric (or amount needed to desired sash length)

- 1 spool of coordinating thread

- Sewing machine or needle and thread

- Scissors

- Measuring tape

- Iron (optional)

Instructions

1. Measure the chair. Measure the width of the chair back and the length from the top of the chair back to the desired sash length.

2. Cut the fabric. Cut the fabric into a rectangle according to the measurements taken in the previous step.

3. Fold the fabric. Fold the fabric lengthwise right sides together. Iron flat if desired.

4. Stitch the fabric. Sew a 1/4-inch seam along the long side of the fabric, leaving one short edge open.

5. Trim the corners. Trim the corners of the fabric, being careful not to cut into the seam.

6. Fold the remaining seam edges. Fold the remaining two raw edges of the fabric inward twice by 1/4 inch and iron flat.

7. Sew the casing for the sash. Stitch a 1/4-inch seam along both of the folded edges, creating a casing for the sash.

8. Cut the ribbon for the sash. Decide and measure the ribbon length desired that goes through the casing. Cut enough ribbon to thread twice through the casing.

9. Insert the ribbon. Pull one end of the ribbon through the casing and feed it through. Once the ribbon is pulled all the way through the casing, tie it in a bow at the front or back of the chair.

Your wedding chair sash is now complete! You can easily customize the sash by using different fabrics, colors, or embellishments. Sashes are a perfect way to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any special occasion.
