What a fabulous use for old umbrellas!
The team over at craft portal ReForm School created this giant sunshade almost entirely out of recycled brollies. The end result was achieved by simply sewing the edges of each umbrella together, then adding eyelets around the perimeter. It worked a treat during a party they were throwing for fellow crafters and lent a really festive look to the patio. While I don't think I could whip up anything quite on this scale, a smaller version might work well for my balcony, especially since I find most umbrellas on sale today seem to break within weeks, and are hard to dispose of responsibly.
