Do you want to bring a little magic into your life? Why not make your very own Mary Poppins' umbrella? Recreate one of the most iconic props from the beloved movie using our step-by-step guide below. Let's get started!

Gather the Required Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials:

  • A plain, black umbrella
  • Acrylic paint (red, blue, yellow, and white)
  • Paintbrushes (various sizes)
  • Painter's tape
  • A pencil
  • A ruler
  • A cup of water
  • A paper plate (for mixing colors)

Prepare the Umbrella

Start by opening up the umbrella and laying it flat on a protected surface.

Create the Umbrella Design

Using a pencil and ruler, lightly sketch out the design you want for your Mary Poppins' umbrella. It's helpful to have a reference image or still from the movie handy for this step.

Color the Top of the Umbrella

Take your red acrylic paint and a paintbrush. Apply a thin layer of the red paint on the top of the umbrella, making sure to stay within the lines of your design. You may need to apply a few coats for a vibrant result. Let the paint dry completely between each coat.

Add the Blue Border

Once the red paint is dry, use painter's tape to create a border around the edge of the red section. Apply the tape carefully and make sure it adheres well.

Next, take your blue acrylic paint and a clean paintbrush. Apply a thin layer of blue paint on the border, staying within the lines. Like before, multiple coats may be necessary. Remove the painter's tape while the paint is still wet to achieve clean lines.

Paint the Bottom of the Umbrella

Now it's time to work on the bottom part of the umbrella. Mix equal parts of yellow and white paint on a paper plate to create a light yellow color for Mary's dress. Use a larger paintbrush to apply the paint, covering the entire bottom section of the umbrella. Allow it to dry completely before moving on.

Detailing and Final Touches

Once the yellow paint is dry, it's time to add the final details. Use your reference image to guide you in painting Mary Poppins' silhouette at the bottom of the umbrella. Feel free to add her umbrella handle, hat, or any other details you desire.

Let the paint dry completely. If desired, you can seal the paint with a clear acrylic sealer to protect your design and make it more durable.

Show Off Your Umbrella!

Now that you've completed your own Mary Poppins' umbrella, take it outside and show it off to the world! Whether you use it as a fashionable accessory or a fun prop, your creation is sure to bring a touch of magic to your day.

Remember, this tutorial is just a guide. Feel free to get creative and add your personal touch to the design. Enjoy your homemade Mary Poppins' umbrella!
