Have you ever gone to an estate sale and come across some old tatty vintage umbrellas? Such beautiful prints, but alas the fabric is ripped? Well, I do. A lot.
Last year, I saw this beautiful umbrella in the garbage at an estate sale and plucked it out for free. Who doesn’t love a cheery yellow umbrella on a gloomy rainy day? But the side rip was a real downer.
Until I decided to fix it! Fifteen minutes later and I was walking on sunshine with my dandy new umbrella.
Let me show you how:
Easy peasy, right?
So, next time you see one of those charming busted brollies in the trash at the estate sale, grab it!
Happy crafting, friends!
Miss Dottie: you are true genius!! I am so impressed with your talents. Where were you last year, when i finally threw away my old umbrella from my teen years?
hi mom! xo
Haha!
I’m just too cheap to part with my pretty umbrellas! Now, if it would only rain here….
You look adorable! (And i’m making you fix my umbrella if is ever breaks……)
I’ll happily fix any umbrella of yours!
Miss Dottie! That umbrella is cute, but you are CUTER!!
Awww thanks, Jenny! You are the sweetest of the sweets!
