These chair sashes are really easy to use. First, since they're pre - tied, you can quickly attach them to any type of chair. For a fuller look, after receiving them, use your fingers to comb through the curly willow strands as they are shipped in a compressed form. When it comes to care, always hand - wash them in cold water. Don't wring them out too hard; just gently squeeze out the extra water and lay them flat to dry. Remember, the listing only includes the curly willow strands, so if you need sash buckles or other accessories, you'll have to buy them separately. These sashes are great for adding a touch of elegance to weddings, parties, events, and banquets.
