A cheerful lighting for your next garden party: The little umbrellas are made of Acrylic balls and pasted with colourful Straw silk paper stickers. This is very easy and you can also use your favourite colours, because they are available Straw silk paper in many bright colours.
Prepare suspension
From the Acrylic balls remove the suspensions with a side cutter and melt a hole with the hot glue gun in the middle of each ball half and cutting disc. This must be large enough so that two fairy lights fit through each half of the ball and one aluminium wire each for the cutting discs. All holes are now deburred with the side cutter (cut the edge cleanly).

Gluing and decorating
The Straw silk paper is now pieces are torn and slightly overlapped with Napkin varnish glued to the ball halves and cutting discs. After everything is dry, the struts of the umbrellas are painted on Acrylic balls with the Pop Up Liner and after drying, they are "puffed up" with the embossing hair dryer. Attention: The airflow should not be directed to one spot for too long, otherwise the ball will melt.
Now a second layer Straw silk paper is glued on the hemispheres. Then decorate the shades with small dots and lines with a white liner. The umbrella struts can be additionally emphasized with the silver Ink Pads .
