Idea: Wastebasket Umbrella Holder
After weeks of searching for a good umbrella holder to place next to my entry, I found this gem hidden in my broom closet.
For my wedding, I decided to do the floral arrangements myself, so my mother-in-law bought a bunch of these small purple wastebaskets from Target to transport the flowers to the wedding site. Since we had an August wedding, dorm gear sales were in full swing, so the wastebaskets ended up costing only $2 each. After the wedding, we didn't really have a place for the wastebaskets, so they ended up in a closet.
Most umbrella holders I found were pretty pricey...at least $15. This one does a great job for a fraction of what I would have paid for a new umbrella holder at a store. If you are in the market for an umbrella holder, consider looking into similarly shaped objects, such as wastebaskets, to expand your style and price options.
