Umbrella made from cigarette packs?
It is not for use like most it is for show. I seen it many years ago in a kit. A person takes old packs and unfolds them and then lays them out flat. a small plastic device was then placed over certain areas and you could then cut out a number of them. Such as Cool, later a small hole was put in it and they would all be laced together and you could have a design of a bird a fish or a flower depends on were you placed the plastic device. Small tooth pick could be placed in for the ribs and some of the foil was then put on top as embroider thread was laced or wove around the ribs.
I ha seen the kit back in the mid 70's while stationed in Japan and never purchased on. Is there someone who has seen them or has one have been looking for some time?
The book titled "The handmades with cigarette packs (たばこの空箱工作)" is ideal for you:
