DIY Umbrella Wreaths

This Tropical Drink Accessory Decor by Family Chic is Unorthodox

— January 9, 2013 — Art & Design
While the common denotation surrounding wreaths is that they are reserved for Christmas, this decor by Family Chic refuses to believe this. They do this by introducing a new variety of wreaths made from unorthodox materials that are holiday neutral. It is also important to note that this wreath is DIY and can be created with a little creativity, loads of paper umbrellas and with a minimal expense on your part. Parasols can be woven through the foam or grapevine wreath rather than glued. This makes it a mess-free craft for the kids.

If you have ever order a Pina Colada or drink of a tropical variety you've probably laid eyes on these paper parasols. Often constructed of decoratively patterned paper and with a toothpick for a handle, the main purpose of this accessory is to hold pieces of fruit in your drink. This decor by Family Chic removes umbrellas from cocktail glasses and tumblers and infuses them into a wreath that can be hung all year round.
Trend Themes
1. Holiday-neutral Wreaths - The introduction of non-Christmas wreaths made from unorthodox materials presents an opportunity to disrupt the traditional seasonal wreath market.
2. DIY Home Decor - The popularity of creating unique, customizable wreaths presents an opportunity for businesses to sell DIY home decor kits or supplies.
3. Upcycling - Transforming everyday objects like paper umbrellas into decorative wreaths presents an opportunity to disrupt the traditional recycling and waste management industries.
Industry Implications
1. Craft and Hobby - The rise of interest in creating unique and customizable home decor presents an opportunity for the craft and hobby industry to expand their offerings.
2. Home and Garden Retail - Retailers that offer DIY home decor supplies and pre-made wreaths can gain a competitive edge in the home and garden market.
3. Event Planning and Catering - Incorporating unique and unconventional decor like umbrella wreaths into event decor can set event planning and catering businesses apart from their competitors.
