Bride and Groom Chair Backs

Posted on July 23, 2011 by Martha

I’m happy to have a diversion from making napkins and crepe paper flowers.  This was actually a really fun project, and it was quick and easy to make from stuff you probably already have (if you’re anything like me).  Both backs are constructed from one vintage pillowcase with a crocheted edge, and the embroidery is simple outline around crayon.  Add some interfacing to make it stiff and a few decorative trims; pin the ties on before you stitch it all together, and Voilà  — you’ve got yourself some pretty cute chair backs.

    You are BRILLIANT Martha! These look fantastic. I think you should write a book called “The hand made Wedding” or something similar. You have SO many great ideas!

    Those are GREAT!!! I cannot get over how effective the combination of coloring and embroidery is – it really is wonderful! Is it back to the napkins then? You should get Mother-of-the-Bride-of-the-Year Award!

    Those are wonderful – how did you get the crayon so dark? I love it! Martha, this wedding should be featured in Bride magazine!

    It is a great idea to repurpose beautiful pillowcases. Ribbons and Red give it a very festive look!

    I love the way the pillow cases take on a whole new life! Really clever use of beautiful linens!
