How about some greenery?
You can get some pvc pipe probably at any hardware store. Just take bulb with you to make sure you get it wide enough. You can also paint the pvc with a plastic spray paint.
Hello!!! I would wrap it with adhesive lace if you’re trying to stay with a chic look. The bulbs 💡 shouldn’t give off enough heat to worry about a fire 🔥 hazard. Craft stores have so many new adhesive decorative strips nowadays. You can also buy some metal water heater strapping, it’s als about 2”. That would look real good.
Oh and you can paint it white also. :}
I like the PVC idea, you could also use aluminum. A small aluminum juice can cut into rings and spray painted would work. Not sure I would use greenery due to heat build up.
The more I look at your picture, the more I think about either re-vamping or replacing the piece under the socket. It has a convex shape. If you can remove one, take it to the hardware store and see what alternate solutions you can find.
I go with the PVC pipe. Easy to cut. Can be glued down. Can be painted. Would give a finished look.
How about some white
wire or that decorative aluminum wire spiraled with crystals or pearls on the ends?
Would a toilet paper tube fit? Or maybe one from Saran?
As long as it doesn't touch the bulb, it could be painted or covered with fabric, foil, wrapping paper, anything really.
A light store sells cones that fits the "candle" on a chandelier . They are made for this, and will not be a hazard.
