DIY Umbrella Decals

DIY_Umbrella_Decals11
It’s fall, which means that, at least where I live, it’s raining. And raining. And raining. Because I do a lot of walking, I also do a lot of umbrella using during these wet days, and I love my big clear dome umbrella. It’s practical and so much more durable than the little fold up versions that I used to tote around. But it’s also a little bit boring. Enter peel and stick vinyl.

Things you need:
Peel and stick vinyl
Scissors
Clear vinyl umbrella

Things to do:
1. Determine what shapes you want on your umbrella and how much of it you want to decorate. Remember that the best part of a clear umbrella is that you can pull it all the way down over you and still see, so don’t block your view!
2. Cut your shapes from the vinyl.

3. Peel off the backing and smooth onto the vinyl of the umbrella, pressing firmly and making sure there are no air bubbles.

4. Open and close your umbrella a few times to make sure the decals fold well with your umbrella.
