How to make Mini Paper umbrella’s

Today I a sharing how to make Mini Paper Umbrella’s! These are so fun and easy to make!

So, the other day I needed some paper umbrellas for a fun Cub Scout treat I was going to have the boys make for our den meeting but could not find any while I was out and about.

I was running out of time and decided I could probably whip some up!

I found a few tutorials on the internet and added a few embellishments of my own.

How to cut out mini paper umbrella’s

STEP1 – First I found the lid of a jar about 2 1/2″ -3″ around and traced around it on the back of some fun colorful scrapbook paper.

STEP 2- I cut around each circle shape with some fun craft scissors to make a ruffled looking edge. Then I cut out a little pie shape out of one side.

Hot glueing the mini umbrella’s

STEP 3- I used hot glue on one side of the pie shape

STEP 4- I attached the glued side over the non glued side to make a small cone shape.

You can play with it to make it the shape you want. A low umbrella or a high umbrella..just have fun with it.

I wanted to make sure it had a nice point on the tip

Adding the toothpick

Step 5- Inside I added a dab of hot glue and poked the toothpick through to the other side.

You don’t want the toothpick to come out too far just a little bit.

You have made your first mini umbrella!

Now it is time to decorate it a little bit.

Adding mini pom pom’s

STEP 6- I had these tiny tiny pom poms leftover from some scrapbooking project that I never did so I added a dab of hot glue to the pom pom and stuck it on there.

I think they turned out sooo cute!

Bears on the Beach Cups

I used them for a dessert called Bears on the Beach Pudding Cups…recipe on my blog.

This little dessert teaches the boys how to make something fun for their family.

They totally got into making these! It is a little more creative than making regular dirt cups 😉

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

These are so sweet, much more robust than the flimsy bought ones that I always used to try and keep as a kid for my dolls!!
