From the Archives- Umbrella Recycled into Haircut Cape






Many years ago, I had an old umbrella with cartoon characters on it but it was broken. I pulled the fabric off the frame and saved it to recycle. It ended up with a hole in the middle, so I couldn't turn it into an umbrella hat, but I still tried sticking my head through it. 

That gave me the idea to turn it into a haircut cape. I had my mom sew knit fabric around the hole. Adding some elastic or velcro could make it fit better, but I never bothered.

When I was little and used to get haircuts at home, this cape helped keep the cut hairs from getting on my shirt. And because it was made from an umbrella- it was completely washable.
