The weather has been changing recently, typhoons have been coming, and I don’t know how many umbrellas have been damaged. Umbrellas are not consumables, so buying them all the time is a waste of money. Today, the editor is going to share 10 tips for "utilizing waste umbrellas". Lets learn from them and give their dead bodies a new life!

1. Lampshade

▼After the umbrella cover is removed, it can be used as a lampshade to soften indoor lighting. When you need a venue with beautiful lighting and atmosphere but don’t have the money to go to a motorcycle, this is what you need~

2. Clothes rack and crystal lamp

▼After attaching a small clip to the interface of the umbrella rib, it can be used to dry underwear and socks~

▼Although the crystal lamp looks awesome, I will not hang it at home... Friends who like it can refer to it.

3. "Accessory display stand" for setting up stalls

▼I often see roadside stalls displaying earrings, pins, badges, etc. like this. I think it’s quite convenient! If you have a lot of jewelry and don’t know how to store it, you can also try to put one at home~

4. Hook

▼Even if your umbrella is blown down by the strong wind and only the handle is left, you can still keep it as a hook on the wall~ Isn’t it beautiful to arrange it in a row like this~

5. Flower Basket

▼Remove the umbrella ribs, leaving only the main trunk and umbrella surface, put the flowers in the bouquet and tie a bow around the waist, and it becomes a beautiful flower basket~ Hanging it on the door will make you feel happy. ?

6. Waterproof shopping bag

Remove the umbrella cover, fold it in half as shown in the picture, then cut it according to the pink dotted line, and sew both sides. The blue framed part is used as a strap, and the red part is a button, and you are done. A super exquisite waterproof shopping bag ~ I no longer have to go to the department store to collect the full amount to exchange for a shopping bag! (Taking advantage of small things)

7. Fashionable clothing

It’s embarrassing, a broken umbrella can be used as a skirt, it’s amazing! I mean, a skirt doesn’t cost much, but there’s no need to save this much...

▼Isn’t this the oversized rainbow umbrella that my dad called “five million” when I was a kid? It’s quite beautiful when worn as a skirt~ (but as the old saying goes, just wear it)

▼It can also be made into pants for children~ (Well, it’s OK for children to wear them. Anyway, they grow very fast and can’t wear them anymore. Don’t waste money on buying new pants for them) → Shown as a bad mother in the future .

9. Cat’s bed

▼Use a piece of soft cotton fabric and sew it together with the removed umbrella cover, leaving an opening, fill it with cotton, and then sew it together in a concentric circle. Sew a drawstring along the edge, pull it out and it’s done ~ super cute!

In addition to being used as the editor’s bed, it’s also pretty good to use it as a cushion~

10. Umbrella for pets

If your umbrella is blown away... you can actually hold the umbrella for your dog like this. Isn't it very considerate~ Hahahahahaha!

(Does the dog’s beard on the right need to be trimmed?)

Do you think it is practical? The editor wanted to try making cushions and shopping bags when I got home from get off work today~
