When we traveled to China, we brought home several colorful parasols. They've been used as party decorations, but they've been folded up and stored away for several months. On Saturday, I went on a hunt for some ceiling hooks in our infamous "junk" container.
With a bit of beaded fringe from Hobby Lobby and some hot glue, I transformed my parasol from this...
...into this...
I liked it so much, I fringed another one.
As much as a white parasol would look lovely in my shabby bedroom, my colorful parasols bring a bit of spring into my craft room. Right now, I'll take ANY hint of spring while it looks like this outside.
Happy Crafting!XOXO

Amen to Spring...
Love the idea of fringing the parasol. Tori has one just hanging out in her closet, and I even have some of that beaded fringe,too! It would be a breath of spring for her room!
Thanks!

Your parasols are just gorgeous! The beaded fringe adds just the right amount of bling! Love the springy colors, too:)
Both of these turned out very nicely and certainly add a bit of color and a feeling of fun! Hope your spring comes sooner than you think.
The parasols are adorable!
Love the parasols! they look like they are fabric...adorable with the added fringe.
I am wishing we have some sunshine soon!
Enjoy the day!
Love it! Love it! Love it!!
I did one of these as a corner light in my first apartment, but I didn't do the cool beaded fringe. VERY nice!
That is totally cute! I want one!!
And yes, winter is totally wearing on me, as well. I'm so done with coats.
They look great. I am so sick of winter. Hearing the snow blower, makes me want to scream.
Love the parasol and Chinese umbrella's! We have tons of snow here, too. And we are supposed to get another foot tomorrow. ha
Wow you guys have a LOT of snow!!!!

That is the perfect addition to your craft room!
Those are so adorable! If only I had a girly room I could hang them in!
WOW that's more snow than I have ever seen before! And here I was complaining about the cold and rain we're getting blasted with today
Really lovely!
So pretty and festive looking, Kim! LOVE them!! And what is it with the snow this year? So many friends who don't even normally get snow are getting pounced on. We've barely had a flake this winter.
Love the parasol. Very creative. Thanks for sharing.
