You will need:

1. Umbrella.
2. Old unnecessary handbag.
3. Lightning.
4. Cup.
5. Scissors, clerical knife.
6. Sewing machine.

First, you should disassemble the umbrella into its components. Wash. Sew two parts, draw a future bag using a blank of an old bag.

Using an ordinary cup, draw circles on the surface in random order.

The old handbag will come in handy again (we have already redrawn the handbag pattern from it), and now we will take away some details from it: handles, zipper, jewelry. We use a clerical knife or scissors to cut an old handbag into narrow strips.

The density of the handbag increases with a layer of isolon. After the insulation has been sewn on, the cut out strips will have to be stitched in accordance with the drawn circles.

Attach a zipper to the top of the bag. We outline a place for attaching the handles, sew them on. We connect the top and the main part of the bag, deal with the lining.
