Whoa didn’t realize you could do this

Begin by cleaning the thrifted umbrella thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.

If desired, use spray paint to change the color of the umbrella to match your decor. Allow it to dry completely.

Open the umbrella and remove the fabric from the frame, leaving the ribs exposed.

Cut a plastic liner or garbage bag to fit the inside of the umbrella frame, ensuring it covers the entire area where soil will be placed.

Secure the liner to the umbrella ribs using twine or jute rope, tying it tightly to prevent soil from spilling out.

Place a layer of small rocks or gravel at the bottom of the lined umbrella to ensure proper drainage.

Fill the umbrella with potting soil, leaving about an inch from the top.

Plant your chosen assortment of flowers and plants into the soil, arranging them to create a balanced and visually appealing display.

Water the plants thoroughly and adjust the umbrella planter to ensure it stands securely on your porch or patio.

To personalize your Cottagecore Umbrella Planter, consider experimenting with different types of plants. For a more fragrant display, incorporate herbs like lavender or rosemary. If you prefer a more colorful look, choose a variety of flowering plants that bloom in different seasons. You can also decorate the umbrella frame with fairy lights or ribbons to enhance its cottagecore appeal. For a more durable option, use a metal or wooden umbrella frame instead of a traditional fabric one.
