How Do You Make A Chandelier Chain Cover?

You found the perfect chandelier for your home and hung it in place. Only, it’s hanging from an unsightly cord. Thankfully, chandelier cords are easy to camouflage with a bit of sewing. Measure the length of the chain. This measurement doesn’t have to be precise because the cover is going to be long enough for the material to create a ruffle effect around the cord. Double the measurement. If you would like a fuller ruffle effect, triple the measurement. Measure the width of the chain, double it and add 2 inches. The extra 2 inches is for the side seam, and will leave enough room for the cover to slip over the chain. Cut the material to the appropriate length and width. Hem the bottom and top of the material. Fold 1 inch of the fabric on either end to create a clean edge. Pin the hem and sew it in place. Pin the material together to create the cover. Sew the length of the material, using a 5/8 seam. Trim any loose threads with scissors and slide the cover over the cord.
