tropically festive

Our friend Jack, of Nancy Boy fame, made these for their holiday display. Do you see what they are? Cocktail umbrellas, people! He made a cardboard frame, wrapped it with rice paper, and poked these through. He did a drum lampshade too but I neglected to take a snap of that.

So genius, cheery and bright.

new washington post project

A new project to take on spring showers is up at The Washington Post. This was a great project to create and work on because, really, when do you ever consider an umbrella DIY fodder? Give one of your dark workhorse umbrellas a punchy makeover with bright stacks of nylon circles, tacked down with buttons for extra dimension and homespun charm.

Get the step-by-step right here.
