Autumnal window decorations
Find out how to create autumnal window decorations made from homemade umbrellas.
The temperatures start to fall, it gets dark earlier and on some days, the weather forces us inside our cosy homes. To capture the autumn feel indoors, our craft professional Katharina Pasternak a.k.a. Leelah loves has conjured up some autumnal window decorations made from umbrellas for you. In 6 simple steps, she explains how you can make these DIY window decorations yourself.
You will need these materials to make your autumnal window decorations from umbrellas :
- MONO MULTI liquid glue
- MONO 100 Pencil
- Thin cardboard
- Circle template 11 cm Template
- Wire
- Pliers
- Scissors
Step 1: Basis of the umbrella
For each umbrella, you’ll need 8 circles with a diameter of 11cm made from thin coloured card. You can either create a circle template with a compass and use it as a template or you can print our template directly on the paper and cut out the circles.
(A) First open the circle completely and draw a line of glue from the outside to the middle. Then fold the circle in half.
(B) Repeat this process and fold the half circle into a quarter. In the picture you can see the glue line in red and the folding line in orange.
As you only glue a thin line instead of the whole surface, the umbrella will fan out nicely at the end.
