So our new house came with tons of wonderful brass fixtures...some of you know this already. As I said before the white Chandelier is a temp fix...I do not love it...but I hate the brass chain even more. Looking online and in stores I was looking at spending 60 or more of my husbands hard earned cash...so off to the fabric store I went!
You will need....
1 yd of burlap
1 yd of burlap
2 yd sticky Velcro
Scissors

Cut a 6" strip of burlap or fabric of your choice roughly 1 and 1/2 as long as the chain you want to cover. Do the same with Velcro.

Apply sticky Velcro to each side.
Turn in on itself to create a hidden seam.

Get a super tall latter and wrap around chain being careful to not fall off or yank the lighting out of the ceiling (no I did not do this but I had the visual in my mind as I am working on the way too high ladder).
Viola! So much better...now if I could just get a new lighting fixture.
Cool idea to hide those chains! Kudos.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and execution! I am bookmarking this in my Things I Want to Make file.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like the burlap cover! If white fails to rev your engine, would you try a bold color? Or thinking of trying a black/brown/off-white?
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies...I am glad you like the chain cover...it really has finished off the look of the room...no more brass is always a plus.
