Required Materials

To make the decorative umbrella, you will need the following products:

• Designer paper
• Paper flowers
• Decorative twigs
• Craft glue or a hot glue gun

Step 1: Creating the Paper Cones

1. Select several sheets of designer paper (square format – 8x8 cm).
2. Roll each sheet into a cone shape, closing it at the bottom.
3. Glue the edges with craft glue or silicone.
4. Make 4 cones with different patterns or in a matching style – based on your preference.
5. Glue the four cones together, making sure they are aligned to form a fan-like shape.

Step 2: Making the Base and Handle

1. Take thick cardboard and place the cones on it.
2. Trace the shape and cut it out – this will be the base of the display.
3. Choose a sheet of designer paper, trace the base onto it, and glue it onto the cardboard.
4. Draw and cut out the umbrella handle from cardboard (approximately 17 cm long).
5. Wrap the handle with designer paper in a matching pattern.
6. Cut a small piece of paper shaped like a tiny fan – this will be used to finish the bottom part of the umbrella.

Step 3: Assembling All Elements

1. Glue the assembled cones onto the prepared cardboard base using glue or silicone.
2. Attach the small decorative fan to the bottom part of the cones.
3. Finally, add the handle in the center so that it looks like a real umbrella.
4. For hanging – glue twine or string to the top part of the handle.

Step 4: Decorating with Flowers and Twigs

1. Select paper flowers and decorative elements.
2. Arrange them in each cone so they look like colorful bouquets.
3. Combine different colors and textures for maximum effect.
4. Arrange the flowers carefully to create volume and beauty.
