Another great idea to use an old umbrella is to make an original lamp out of it. A transparent umbrella is suitable for this, but if you separate from the fabric and the handle of the umbrella, leaving only the skeleton.

You can hang the umbrella light from the ceiling to create a themed atmosphere in the room, or use it outdoors during a party.

Separate the fabric from the skeleton of the umbrella, leaving only the metal structure. You can then paint the skeleton the color you want or leave it as is. Next, attach a material to the outside of the lampshade that will allow light to pass through, such as thin fabric or paper. You can also use the top of the umbrella, which must be attached to the base of the lampshade. This decor from an old umbrella will be an interesting decor element in your home.
