How to Use Universal Chair Covers

When you are hosting a large event like a holiday dinner or wedding, you may find that you need to borrow or rent multiple kinds of chairs. Universal chair covers conveniently tie onto chairs of different sizes to create a unified decorating scheme. Choose a universal chair cover that coordinates with your decorating plan. Some covers come with sashes, but others need to be gathered and tied. Add a decorative flower or other element for extra-special occasions.
