Here are your rows and rows of ruffles. Pretty right?
When you get to the top you will do just what you did before..wrap and stick. Now you are done! Whew. It does take a while to get this done but for $2.00 and your tape it is totally worth the time.
Here is the view from under!
Now the next time it rains pull out your ruffled umbrella and you will have the sweetest one on the streets.
And if it’s not raining but you still want to test it out, make your own rain!
