Ribbon can get really expensive so that's why I didn't want to go with that... And same with the mask/hat suggestion.</p> <p>@NerdBee: oooh awesome idea! I like that! It would be hard to find pine cones in the dead of winter but my parents have pine trees I could cut some sprigs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552981 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 20:17:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 552981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a party decoration that could do double duty? Like a party hat tied with ribbon or a woodland animal face mask tied with ribbon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552927 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:47:46 +0000 tysonja 552927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've always liked the ribbon/torn fabric strips/streamers tied to the backs of chairs thing. i like the 'tree' idea too mentioned above, using boughs of evergreen if you can get some for free around where you live! you don't have to tie that many ribbons too, i've seen where there is just a small bunch tired to the centre back of the chair. :) </p> [attach=968/13/mhtrjm.259x194.chair2.jpg] [attach=968/13/mhtrjn.275x183.chair.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552888 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:32:41 +0000 NerdBee 552888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since your theme is woodland animals, would it make sense for the chairs to be trees? Maybe you could tie a ribbon around the back of the chair with some pine cones and a sprig of evergreen. </p> [attach=2579/13/mhtquh.194x259.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552876 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:24:51 +0000 Bao 552876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I think that sounds really cute! Sorry I'm not more helpful ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552872 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:22:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 552872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Yes. I designed woodland animals with a chevron background, I would cut those into a circle and tie to the chair... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552859 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:16:04 +0000 Bao 552859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: when you say a picture cut into the shape of a circle, do you mean something with like a woodland animal on it...then cut out? I'm trying to think of what your going for ;) Chair covers/decorations are not my expertise. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552852 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:10:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 552852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: haha I better have a theme - it's in two weeks!!! :) yes it's modern woodland animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552851 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:09:03 +0000 Bao 552851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Do you have a theme planned yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-what-to-do-for-back-of-chairs#post-552823 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 18:20:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 552823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my wedding we made pinwheels for each chair. It was pretty, and fun but VERY time consuming and after the wedding we had no idea what to do with all the pinwheels. Felt like such a waste to throw them away...</p> <p>So I'm trying to decide what to do on the back of the rental chairs for Cobi's party... ideas??</p> <p>I don't have a picture for it cause it was just an idea I had - but what about a picture cut in the shape of a circle tied to the backs of each chair?? </p> <p>OR maybe a mini pennant banner? either fabric or paper.</p> <p>Extra points for pictures ;) Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: here is a picture of the chairs we get with the rental:</p> <p>[attach=1597/13/mhtnqt.497x333.Screen-Shot-2013-02-06-at-5.24.59-PM.png] </p>
