Laura H. lives in North Hollywood and her home was in needs of repairs. Today, she wanted an inexpensive decorative alternative addition to the metal chandelier in her carport. Chandelier

This post shows the five steps to decorate a carport chandelier. 

Step 1: Look at the chandelier, what's wrong with it? What right with it?
Step 2: Fig.2 shows a truck underneath the carport chandelier with the light on.

Step 3: Fig.3 shows new little shades, notice the plastic wrapping below the shade. The plastic wrapping needs to be removed before use, if the lamp was to hot, the plastic could cause a fire.

Step 4: So how do you get up to the lamp, a 6-foot ladder could be used, but I used the truck that was parked in the driveway. Fig.4 shows the truck perfectly parked underneath the chandelier.
