A Lovely DIY Umbrella

By Mamakbest @mamakbest

I love a good DIY project!  Putting my personal touch on a project always leaves me with a great feeling of satisfaction.  I also have a weird collection of umbrellas.  It started a while ago, oddly enough, as easy as it  is to lose track of an umbrella, I have managed to keep most of my favorite umbrellas for years.  (I can definitely thank Crystie Nichols for helping me accomplish this feat!)

I love  this sim­ple & gor­geous DIY umbrella from Erin Loechner’s Design For Mankind.  It is a great project involving stencils, use basic geometric shapes or create your own!  Looks like a fun project to do solo or involve the kiddies and everyone can make a personalized umbrella!

Hand cut  geometric shaped stencils and a bit of waterproof paint and you are well on your way to creating a cute little rainy day accessory!

Of course, I love that she chose orange paint for her example!  Head over to Design for Mankind  for the complete tutorial.

Here’s to combatting April Showers in cute, personalized style!
