Umbrella/sun umbrella DIY production method

Umbrellas may become damaged after a few years of use. If you happen to have an umbrella with damaged fabric and a complete frame, then you can use the original umbrella frame to DIY a beautiful fabric umbrella/sun umbrella. The fabric of this umbrella/sun umbrella is made of polyester or nylon and is required to be waterproof and UV-resistant. The outer ring of the umbrella is made of solid color cloth, and the inner ring is made of various printed fabrics. When the umbrella is opened and opened, a beautiful flower shape will appear in the center.

DIY umbrella/parasol production methods are as follows:

1) The umbrella surface is composed of multiple triangular cloth pieces. Open the umbrella stand, count the number of triangles and the size of each triangle, and use old newspapers to make a triangle paper pattern.

2) Cut the triangle paper pattern into two inner and outer pieces, as shown in the picture. Cut the solid color fabric according to the outer pattern, and cut the printed fabric according to the inner pattern. Cut the same number of outer solid-color fabrics and inner printed fabrics according to the calculated number of triangles.

3) Sew the outer piece of solid color fabric and the inner piece of printed fabric together to form a triangle. Finish sewing all the triangles and then sew the triangles to each other. When sewing, use thin and strong thread, and the stitch length should be close to avoid leakage. Finally, the umbrella surface is fixed on the frame to complete the DIY production of the sunny umbrella.
