Make The Best Of What's Around

Umbrella For Auction

My husband and I were asked to make something for an auction that was part of a fundraiser for a local college.  When my husband came home one day and told me that we were asked to make "something" I thought, how broad is that?!  What in the world were we going to make?

So, I started browsing over my pins on Pinterest and I came across this picture that I had saved under my DIY board.

It was perfect!  Someone at the auction was bound to want a big, bold statement piece for their wall.  Plus, we were able to have a little practice making it, that way we could turn around and make another one....for our home.

I absolutely want to make one for myself. 

Here is how ours turned out!
