Today I’m sharing how to make a chandelier chain cover when your chandelier is mounted to your ceiling. Our dining room has a chandelier that was here when we moved in. I like it but I wanted to add a pretty chain cover and I don’t know about you but my hubs isn’t a fan of taking things down so here’s how I did it.
I found this pretty toile at a thrift store a while back and I LOVE it.
I grabbed my step stool and moved my dining room table over so I could measure and work on it.
I measured it to be 7″ tall and I like to double and a half the length when I make a chain cover for a nice gather.
I cut my fabric about 20″ long and about 6″ wide.
I then folded and ironed three of the edges.
I then pinned the fabric onto the chain and as I was pinning I hand gathered the fabric up the chain.
You can see all the pins here. Then I took my time and hand sewed it onto the chain. When I was done I turned the seam around to the back and hand gathered it evenly.
Voila, a new chain cover on my chandelier in under 30 minutes. I love it and it just gives a nice warm and finished look.
I love that you took the time to read this post and what I love even more is for you to come on over to my blog where I share a boat load more of great decorating ideas, crafts, recipes, diy and a whole lot more. You can subscribe privately for free and get these posts delivered to your email too.
