STEP TWO: Make It Rain In order to make your flowers really look wet, let’ s spray them with some clear high gloss lacquer. I laid my flowers on an old sheet outside and sprayed my little heart out. The more layers you do, the more of a wet look you’ ll achieve. You can even spray your umbrella. Let dry( about an hour in the sun).
STEP FOUR: Everything is better with a bow Snip off a long piece of ribbon and tie neatly around your umbrella, holding everything into place. If your umbrella has a strap, tuck underneath your ribbon. You can secure your ribbon to your umbrella with hot glue if you feel the need.
HAPPY SPRING, Y’ ALL!

STEP THREE: Arrange I found it very simple to arrange my flowers while my umbrella was already in place( either hanging on your door or stuck into a pot with soil). If your umbrella has a tie around the center, unbutton it to give you a larger“ vase” to work with. Using your scissors, clip off individual flowers and begin to place. Try mixing up your flowers( if you purchased several different styles) versus keeping them grouped together. Have fun with this! Take your time and let the creativity flow.( By the way, I found my parasol on Amazon, because I was able to find exactly what I wanted. You want to choose an umbrella with a hook and not a looped string.)
