Make a Pink Ruffly Umbrella

In addition to choosing a winner of the CSI Dollar Store Project, I was also able to choose my top 10 projects. It wasn't easy to narrow the top ten down, but all of the top 10 projects were innovative and showed me something I haven't seen before (or cleverly twisted something I have seen before). One of my top tenners, Becky, made a pretty pink ruffly umbrella out of an unlikely material. I loved this project because Becky managed to make $2 from the dollar store look a LOT more expensive, and super pretty and feminine. Her ruffly umbrella was so clever I asked her to share the tutorial with you! So welcome to Dollar Store Crafts, Becky! We're glad to have you here with us today! -Heather
