Have a broken umbrella that you aren’t quite ready to get rid of? How about making it into a nifty pouch? This cool idea is from RePlayGround, and uses stuff you probably already have on hand (or can easily find at the dollar store). Use a pouch like this to hold just about anything, and customize the look of the pouch by using a decorative button on the bottom. [how to make an umbrella pouch]

This. Is. Brilliant. I have an umbrella that I just loved because of the pattern on it but I dropped it and promptly stepped on it, bending it to the point of oblivion. I haven’t been able to throw it out because I loved it so much. This is what I’ve been looking for! Thank you for bringing this tutorial to my attention.
