Burlap Chandelier Makeover

So, I have this unlovely, mission style chandelier in my not so mission style dining room. I also have this lovely, but extremely frugal (ok, VERY tight and cheap) husband who is not happy when I buy new things to replace things we already have. What to do? What to do?

Let the repurposing begin! I keep burlap on hand like most people keep sugar or milk. So, no cost there. I sewed a little burlap ruffle to "skirt my chandelier." The ruffle is about 10 inches wide and I sewed it to a scrap piece of twill, to make it easier to attach to the chandelier when I was done.

Then, whola! Took my glue gun and glued that sucker right on to the ugly chandelier. I finished it off with a little jute string around the candles. It'll do...until I can convince the man to get me the one I really want!
