Sylvester Mccoy Query Rate Umbrella--7Th Twenty-Four Lx Minutes Menstruum Of Physician Who!

 On the 7th Day of Doctor Who, my truthful dear gave to me...

Sylvester McCoy!
(Hope you've been next for the concluding week!...I'm doing a DIY countdown to Doctor Who's Christmas Episode!  You tin follow along also in addition to surprise a geeky somebody inward your life!)

And his AMAZING SWEATER VEST in addition to umbrella!
I must larn to knit therefore I tin brand that vest!!!
Anyone desire to brand that for me for a merchandise from my Etsy shop???

Alas, I'll learn you lot how to brand the umbrella!
First you lot volition take away a dark umbrella alongside a difficult plastic claw handle.
I establish this at a dollar store variety...where everything was $2.
So this umbrella was two bucks.

 It's got a difficult plastic handle...it's brittle in addition to could intermission easily...
therefore buy the farm along alongside caution!

 We went out to the garage in addition to ready the torch on the workbench.
Next nosotros slow ran the umbrella claw inward the open fire until the plastic became pliable.
Use caution...and perchance telephone telephone inward but about reinforcements!

 Carefully, my husband, bent the plastic into the sudden interrogation grade shape.

 A piffling to a greater extent than oestrus to pick out the arch over the pump line...

 After nosotros were satisfied alongside the shape of the claw nosotros rubbed some
 ice cubes on it to cool the plastic rapidly to hold it's shape.
Some of the plastic is bumpy...and imperfect, but non to worry.

 Now, I had some Sugru laying around.
Just piffling sample sizes...in dark in addition to red.

 I used all the dark Sugru I had in addition to formed a ball
at the base of operations of the claw of the umbrella...and allow it dry/set overnight.
(maybe but about form of air dry out clay would work)

And in addition to then I didn't accept whatsoever pictures because I wasn't certain if I could acquire it to work!
But I used that parcel of RED Sugru in addition to rationed it more
 than anything inward the history of rationing!
And pushed it on thinner in addition to thinner until the ball in addition to the claw were covered.
It worked!
It's non quite every bit thick every bit I would receive got liked...but it didn't toll me whatsoever additional money!
If I did it again, I would job Plasti-dip inward red...and I'd coat the other pointy halt inward it too!

I'm super pleased alongside this DIY version
 of the Question grade umbrella!
Perfect for a rainy day!

Come dorsum tomorrow for an exciting eighth Doctor project!
