Here we go.
Gather your supplies.
Fabric (about 7" wide and double the length of your chain)
Velcro (iron-on if you'd like to skip the sewing)
Thread
Measuring tape
Pins
Scissors
Hem tape (if you'd like to skip the sewing)
First, cut your fabric to about 7" wide, and double the length of your chandelier chain (mine was 13" long, so I cut the fabric to 26"). I got this fabric as a remnant on clearance at Joann's for next to nothing! I didn't have any specific plans for it, but when I decided to make this chain cover, I thought it would be perfect!
Pin all edges, and sew (or use hem tape).
Now you're done! Just wrap it around your chandelier chain and secure the velcro. The fabric will bunch naturally since it is longer than the chain itself.
Take a look at the chandelier before:
And after:
I hope you're all having a great week so far!
Great DIY Rachel - I never thought of putting it together with velcro. I have to say, it does remind me of a chandelier scrunchie! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Ann! Hahah I was thinking the exact same thing! It totally is a chandelier scrunchie!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I love a chandelier cover and it's so easy to change with the seasons and/ or our moods! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial! Perfect for me since I am planning on using a silky fabric as well. It looks great on your chandelier!
