DIY Easy Cocktail Umbrellas
These are so cute :)
Supplies
— toothpick
— 1 sticky note a.k.a post it notes
— scissors
— 2 small elastic bands (3 if you want to close it)
the supplies above make one umbrella
Folding the Post It
Fold the post it in half into a rectangle. Then do it again into a square.
unfold.
fold the paper in half into a triangle. Do it again then unfold.
Circle-ish Shape
Cut the post it into a circle like shape. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You may use something to help you draw the circle.
i just go for it.
Poke the toothpick through the center of your paper. It should be obvious to tell where the center is.
then make a little space at the top and put the rubber band on just like how you would put on a hair tie.
Secure the Paper
Cut a elastic in half. Tie it on the other side of the umbrella. Slide it up. You can cut off the excess. I did double knots to be extra secure.
once you did that, fold the creases.
Closing Up the Umbrella
Honestly, you can close the umbrella however you want.
i fold all of the creases to one corner.
use another elastic to secure it.
