For many women, the Baby Shower is one of the most memorable moments of their life. We can say that if you want to pleasantly surprise a woman, the day of a Baby Shower is one of your best choices. It would be a nice way to show love and encouragement for the lady. This article will help you with this little quest.
This article is particularly about decorating a baby shower chair, something we believe every mom wants to have and will appreciate if you make an effort to decorate it by yourself. We will also look into the possibility of using that same chair even after the baby shower. We all love items that can have multiple purposes, don’t we?
Choosing the perfect chair for the baby shower:
When we choose a chair for the baby shower, the most important thing is that the mother feels comfortable in it. Another important thing is for the chair to look good. When you have so many guests coming, we bet they will be surprised with the effort you have put into decorating the chair.
The mother should be the center of attention on the baby shower, so let’s put her on an attractive and cool looking throne. We would suggest avoiding the plain wooden chairs. You should go for the ones with a padded seat and back. These are softer and provide more comfort. If you buy a chair that has a recliner, trust us that it is going to be a real pain to decorate it. The recliner will require feet and spindles to attach the fabric to it. It will not be an easy task for you.
Ideas for decorating a baby shower chair
If you choose a plain wooden chair to decorate, make sure you also buy pillows to place on the seat and the back, thus make the chair a lot more comfortable. Using tulle to decorate the chair is a smart idea because it is lightweight, stiff netting, and very fine. Tulle can be made of silk, polyester, nylon, and rayon. The tulle is affordable, available in many colors, and it is very festive, thus why people often choose it to decorate the baby shower chairs. Here are some ideas about using tulle to decorate the chair.
If you have chosen to use tulle, use few colors that match together. If you do the right job with the color matching, you can end up with a very attractive looking chair, which will surprise all your guests.
To decorate the chair, you will need to cut as many strips as you will need, about 10 feet long. You will also need a spindle and rail to finish this job appropriately. If you have chosen a bigger chair, not a standard one, you will need strips longer than 10 feet. Make sure you are holding the pieces with their ends together, then you have to find the middle part of your tulle. After you have found the middle of the tulle, hold it in the center of the top rail on the back of your chair. Then, tie the tulle to the chair with ribbon and wire at the required spots. If you have chosen to use wire to decorate the chair, make sure you tie silk or bow flowers on the essential spots. The final step is to gently pull the tulle and make it look smooth on the chair, in other words, to inflate it.
Using fabric to decorate a baby shower chair:
Using fabric provides more decorating options, and you don’t use the fabric in the same way you use the tulle. If you happen to use a chair that is not appealing to the eye, you can use the fabric like a curtain to cover all the chair’s disadvantages. After you have put the fabric over the chair, you can use a big sheet or silk cloth on the entire baby shower chair. Then, press the fabric into the seams all around the bolster or the seat cushion to make it easier to fit. To make sure that the fabric will stay as you want, cut a wide strip of tulle, wrap it all around the chair and tie it.
The baby shower chair can be a really cool surprise for the mother. You can also add a baby blanket to the chair. We bet the mother will love that too. With this gift, it is safe to say that it’s not all about how good the chair looks; we believe it is more about the effort a person puts in making such a gift. Creating something with your own hands shows you care more about the person who whom you are making the gift.
Something you can do with the baby shower chair, besides the mother sitting comfortably in it, is taking some pictures on the chair to share with the internet. It doesn’t really need to be shared with the internet if you don’t want to. You can keep the pictures and show them to your kid when he/she gets old enough to understand what is going on.
You can also do a theme for the baby shower, and the chair should fit into that theme as well. The most popular baby shower themes are jungle theme, movie theme, safari theme, carnival, and circus theme. If you choose a safari or jungle theme, yellow and green should be the dominant colors. And with circus and carnival themes, the colors should be bright.
What else to say besides that a baby shower is one of the most special occasion for the mother to be. These kinds of events do not come over and over again, and that is what makes it so special. That is why we encourage you to go one step forward and do your best to create the most amazing baby shower chair. Make sure the mother-to-be feels like the queen she is!
