I love {almost} nothing more than a good repurposed, upcycled project. Find some junk, turn it into something else, and I’m sold! Today I’m sharing a collection of 10 creative ways to repurpose old umbrellas.
Unique Ways to Upcycle Old Umbrellas
This old umbrella has been stripped of its fabric and transformed into a photo holder. You’d have to hang it high enough that it wouldn’t poke out an eye but isn’t it neat? Perfect for a vintage photo collection.


If you’ve got kids, you can turn your old umbrella into a parachute. The kids will think they’re at gym class in the comfort of their own home. I really love this idea and might have to add this one to my project list.
A patterned umbrella would make a pretty lampshade for a ceiling light.
Take it outside and turn your old umbrella into a greenhouse or a protective covering for your plants …

Hi! Thank you for linking to my umbrella turned parasol. Only, could you please change your description? It is a knit cover, not a crocheted one.
I just changed it!
Great ideas ! 🙂
What awesome and creative use of umbrellas! This is a definite must try especially having broken/unused umbrellas that just goes straight to the trash. Love that dog in the raincoat, super adorable!
