Chair Covers

A trio of snowflake ornaments embellishes the backs of these dining chairs. Send the decorations home as a party favor with each guest. To make the six-pointed cedar version (at left), follow the snowflake ornament directions substituting a third end-to-end pair of sprigs for the single sprig. Decorate the completed snowflake with eucalyptus buds and pods and silvery dusty miller or the serrated leaves of grevillea.
