What can be done from an old umbrella?

I had accumulated, that means, five broken umbrellas - one cane and four folding ones, two of which are black rag and two are brightly colored from waterproof fabric. I began to look for information about what can be done from an old umbrella. It turns out there are many versions for repurposing this item.

For example. If the umbrella is not completely broken, then it can be used in the garden and garden. For example, to cover the plants from rain and cold, or you can make an original flower bed (don't forget to just lay out the bottom of the flower bed with polyethylene).

With a flower bed, of course, everything is not completely clear. In just one year, the fabric will turn into tatters - wind, rain and wet soil will do their job. There are two options here - you can strengthen the flower bed with plywood or change the fabric annually. Fortunately, broken umbrellas appear from season to season, and relatives can be strained by this matter.

The umbrella flower bed can be hung by the handle on a tree or front door. Very beautiful!

By and large, many things can be sewn from umbrella fabric: we sew the fabric into a single canvas and then we cut whatever our heart desires - at least a children's kite (or parachute), a waterproof raincoat for a dog, or even a children's house.
