These can go upwards of $30-$40 on Etsy. I was not going to spend that much money on a parasol. So when I was browsing the Summer Blowout Sale at Hobby Lobby I found a white parasol on sale...and it was priced at (*drum roll please*)...$2.04!!!
Now all you need is a black sharpie! I begin by choosing a script font in Microsoft Word. I printed about 2-3 letters onto each 8 x 11.5 piece of paper.
I then trimmed the excess paper off around the letter.
I then placed and taped the letters on the back side of the parasol like so...
The font was dark enough to trace the outline of each letter like so...
Then, I just filled in the letters with the black sharpie, and viola...
Total cost of this project was just $2.04, since I already had a black sharpie =)
Here are some pics of the parasol during our engagement shoot...
