Thank you parasol

[Chelymo]

I am looking to buy a white paper parasol with black letters that says "Thank you" or "Just Married". I'm only using it for a few pictures and really do not want to spend $35-$45 for something that I'm barely going to use. If anyone has a slightly used one - I would love to take it off your hands.

I purchased some cheap paper parasols from oriental trading & used paint from the local craft store to paint them myself.

 

Here is link:

Paper Paint Your Own! Parasols

They only come in packs of 12 for $30.

Maybe check your local craft store to see if they sell them individually.

Another idea I got from my sister (who is a graphic designer/photographer) was to get a plain white parasol and photoshop the words in after the fact. Ask your photographer if they can do that.

I did the same thing - bought the ones from Oriental Trading. I have to admit that one of them had a big brown spot on it, it was literally brown paper, but the rest were just fine.

 

I printed the letters out on Word - blew them up really big, taped them on the inside and painted on the outside. I think it came out pretty nice!

Lexibride that parasol looks fantastic!! Are you going to sell it after you use it?

[lexibride]

Yes, I do plan on selling it when I'm done! Don't really know what else I'd use it for I guess.
