Isn’t it boring to use your umbrella only as a shield from rain or sunlight? Isn’t it such a waste to throw out broken umbrellas or ones you no longer use? We’ll have you know that umbrellas do not only have one or two uses. Lock yourself in a room with an umbrella, stare at it enough, and you might come up with some creative ways to use it!

You can recycle an old umbrella by using it as a bouquet, planter, or vase to decorate your house, and so on and so forth.

Even the old and broken umbrellas don’t want to be useless anymore, so show off your creative flair and have some fun while recycling for the sake of the planet!

You can use your old umbrellas as planters to decorate your home garden, porch, or patio, and beautifully display the flowers you worked hard or!

Here is a fun way to transform your old umbrella into a plant stand for your precious flowers:

Get a plant bowl in whatever size you like and cut a hole in its bottom. Now place a smaller plastic flower pot in the middle of the hole you cut and drill a hole in the bottom of the pot the same size as the umbrella hole.

Fill the bowl with soil and flowering plants and balance the umbrella in the middle of the hole you cut in the bottom of the pot. And voila, you’ve just made an umbrella plant stand.

What do closed, unwrapped umbrellas remind you of? What else if not flower bouquets!

You can create a unique flower bouquet from your old umbrella to decorate your house or gift it to someone special.

Here is how to make it: you can either remove the handle or the tip of the umbrella or leave it as it is, and arrange colorful flowers inside of the umbrella canopy, and wrap a velvet bow or silk ribbon around it.

You may add your own touch by arranging or cutting the canopy of the umbrella the way you like. It’s your umbrella so make the most of recycling it!
