25 Gorgeous Chair Covers and Festive Chair Backs To Make

Right now I am addicted to decorative chair backs!  Chair backers are an easy way to quickly and frugally completely change the look of a room or decorate for a holiday or wedding.  So here are 26 gorgeous chair covers and festive chair backs to make for your home.

** Please note that some of these chair covers are not tutorials.  There was so much inspiration and very little free patterns.  So I added a few chair backs that you can purchase and a few photo just for inspiration to show the versatility and the beauty that can be created with a simple chair cover.

Chair Backers

1.  Ruffle Back Chair Backers Tutorial ~ This adorable ruffled chair backer FUL tutorial requires NO SEWING.  That’s right.  No sewing.

2.  Shabby Chic Chairbackers ~ A simple wreath with a white satin bow to the back transforms this chair from common to so much more!

3.  Chic Buckle Chairbakers ~ This tutorial for chair backs is fabulous.  I love how they’ve used purse buckles, a few yards of material, and some spray paint to make chair backs that are oh. so. chic!

4. Vintage lil garden chairs ~ A simple burlap was stitched to fit the chair backs, and then hand-painted with “No. 5” in black to make these great chair backs for under $7.00!

5.  Design Your Own Chair Cover ~ Take artist canvas and cut a scallop edge. Then hand painted a simple design using acrylic paints. Punching grommet holes in each corner makes it easy to attach to the chair using pretty ribbon!

6.  Paper Scalloped Chair Covers ~ Trace a scallop-edged cake display board onto heavy-weight cream-colored paper. Cut and spray glue paper to board.  Use for any occasion or just for fun.

7.  Chalkboard Chair Backers ~ These chalkboard chair backs are a fun way to write name “cards”.

8.  Homework Storage Chair backs ~ Have your children’s homework supplies available at their fingertips with these fantastic storage chair backs.  Using a plain tote bag, stencil on their initial, remove the handles and add pretty ribbon to secure it to the chair.
