The girls made these awhile back. Then they waited for rain so that they could use them. We've had a lot of rain recently and even a bit of snow last Friday.
You can find a tutorial for how we made these at Suite101.
These are Dollar Tree umbrellas. The girls are very pleased with this craft and as I know my girls wreck umbrellas faster than you can say monsoon - these serve but I might see if I can find some nicer ones at Goodwill for the girls to paint when these meet their untimely end.

I might have to try this idea with my son. I don't know how many umbrellas he has either lost or broken! Too Many!!!
ReplyDeleteYour girls look so happy and very proud!
Best wishes always,

These turned out cute. Thanks for checking out my blog. To answer your question I found my elastic thread at Joann's in the thread section and at Wal-mart in the elastic section.
