elanorelle Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I am designing an umbrella Banner for the Seattle and Vancouver Concerts . It will have MFC AND 'WELCOME MIKA TO SEATTLE AND VANCOUVER!!!!!' (that part will be removed once the concerts are over with velcro so I can the give the umbrella to him) These are the rainy cities!!! and thought it would be really original. it may rain and it would be a nice way to keep dry!!!!!! its like this beach parasol...come to think I think it is a beach parasol it will have glitter and cute drawings and designs and even anything else unique I can think of!!! My friend has spinnaker material that I can use to sew and glue on to the umbrella. I have experience in making banners as i make them every summer for our summer festival! if any one wants to help me, give suggestions, get involved or want one , let me know!

elanorelle Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Any suggestions of what I could have on it would be great! I will show you all what it looks like when its finished! I spoke with my friend and she gave me tips and ideas on how to design it ...so we can wait in the rain in style. MFC RAIN COATS???????????????????????????????????????? Big pink ponchos with designs? also an idea of mine! although the umbrella is the best I think! Let me know! Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Aww, what a cute idea! You do realize you're tempting fate though, right? Because you're talking of ponchos and rain coats, both cities will be 15C and sunny just to spite us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaurora Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 yeah, for sure having little dangly things coming off.... you could also cut shapes into the different sections, or glue toys onto them. What about each panel having lyrics to one of his songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
