Brolly Pieces for Text Mosaic

Here's a sample of using small pieces of brolly (umbrella) fabric or other textures such as left over dressmaking cloth or wrapping foil pieces to create text or other items of art.

Brolly Game

For some fun, a game featuring some programmer's unique art.  When it's ready, you can help Brollie Poppit keep the umbrellas out of the landfill.

Brolly (Umbrella) Survivor

Dome Brollies...better for windy days

This brolly survived the winds of 27Jan15.   If it hadn’t, it could be turned a protective plant cloche or clear pencil cases (required for exams).

Some examples of Brolly Art

The items displayed below are made from the fabric of broken umbrellas. 

I found this short clip of the Lifecycle of an Umbrella ..well illustrated.

Another idea is to make colourful bunting from the fabric of your broken brolly!

Some potential uses for your broken brolly!

Windy weather again. Millions of umbrellas end up in the landfill each year, (according to various websites).

Wouldn't it be good to know that your broken umbrellas could be used to help:

• make bunting / appliques
• create a shelter
• make a protective suit 
• in art work at schools etc
