What can be made from a broken umbrella?

No off-season is complete without an umbrella. Rainy and windy weather leaves no chance for the long life of this stylish accessory. Often its surface still looks pretty decent, but the structure is already broken and cannot be restored, or the owner just wants to change a familiar thing. However, you should not immediately throw away the damaged item; there are several interesting ideas for its further use.

What to make from an old umbrella: options

Interior design specialists often use completely unexpected things. By using an old umbrella you can get some very creative ideas that will help you decorate your home beautifully and make it unique.

They have the following uses:

• lampshade (the shape of the umbrella literally screams that over time it is ready to become a stylish lampshade for a chandelier in a modern apartment; you can combine two accessories, then you will get an even more unusual lampshade);
• door decor (for romantic people who tend to decorate their doors with wreaths and flowers, a good option would be a composition from an old umbrella decorated with flowers, beautiful twigs, artificial bird nests and other details; it looks very creative and fresh);
• greenhouse (for owners of personal plots, the item can serve well as a folding greenhouse);
• flower bed (an inverted cane umbrella looks great as a flower bed for decorative flowers anywhere near the house);
• tent for children (an old accessory can easily become the basis for a children’s tent; it’s no secret that any child wants to have his own secluded place with secrets; taking an umbrella and sewing large pieces of fabric onto it, you can arrange such a place by hanging the structure from the ceiling).

Important! There are quite a lot of ideas for using old accessories. Many come up with their own images and decorative elements to decorate their apartment in an unusual way.

Don’t rush to part with your favorite things; they can still serve you well. Creativity in any case brings pleasure, and the resulting result will please your pride and please the eye.

Second life for a broken umbrella: ideas

What should you do if your umbrella has seen its best days and breaks? You can easily use whole parts of it. For example, make a stylish and waterproof skirt from canvas if the frame is broken. And if, on the contrary, the fabric is torn, but the metal part remains intact, it will make an excellent clothes dryer.

Important! It should be understood that such a dryer will not withstand heavy loads. However, drying underwear and socks on it is quite possible and very convenient.

You can also use an old broken accessory to make a mobile for a child or make a stylish handle for a door. You can please your beloved pet with a new raincoat for walks in rainy weather.

For fancy dress costumes for adults and children, the old umbrella can be used in several interpretations. For example, the accessory could become part of a bat costume. The angel will also work well using a light umbrella. A butterfly or fairy costume can be perfectly complemented with parts from stylish items and decorated with sparkles.
