Just wanted to share this clever summer project–sewing together recycled, thrifted umbrella fabrics to create a fun multicolored sun shade. This one was made by the gals who run ReForm School, who hosted the CRAFT: 07 release party in L.A. last Sunday. They simply sewed the edges of each umbrella together, then added grommets around the perimeter. It worked great during the party and lent a really festive look to the patio.

    Recycling old umbrellas certainly make beautiful colorful shades, and are more economical too than going in for new ones. However there is nothing better than getting new ones at Wholesale Rates
