Hello,

Could anyone advise how much ribbon I'd likely need to recreate something like the photo attached? Will need enough for 60 chairs.

Having a panic about being left short when setting up the day before, but I'm pretty useless with estimating measurements Blush

The picture didn't post!

They'll be drapes like this but with ribbon tied in a bow and going right to the floor instead of the flowers:

That's so pretty! I hear "chair covers" and think I can't be arsed with that faff, but that looks lovely. You'll need a lot of ribbon. If you want the ends to trail to the floor that will be at least 50cm for each end, and then the bow as well. I'd guess 2m per chair. So 120m for 60. But haven't you actually tested it to find out? Wouldn't that be easier than guessing?
