How to cover up a chandelier

How to cover up an ugly outdated chandelier with tiered DIY drum shades made of cane webbing. This is the perfect tutorial for renters who want to cover up a light fixture or update an existing chandelier that they can’t spray paint or remove. The wooden embroidery hoops and cane webbing make the chandelier look like a boho beauty for the fraction of the cost of a new chandelier or pendant light.

Thank you . This is exactly what I needed! Just wish I could have seen how and where you attached the very top shade to the existing fixture.

turned out great but so much work! Getting to hang straight must have been a killer on the ladder!

[@juliakonya7266]

Haha yes hanging it can be a bit tricky but overall it wasn't too bad ;) Getting the existing one down from that high ceiling would have been worse.

This looks fantastic but end result frankly looks like a bit of a fire risk to me. Arent you concerned you have bulbs which heat up flush against what is essentially kindling?
