Our little inventions

Besides the hungry bird, have you noticed my lovely pink waterproof backpack rain cover?

 

Can you guess what it is made of?  My broken umbrella. Haha. 

 

My mother is the genius behind this. It is totally rain proof and thief proof. When I was in Paris underground a couple of days ago, I noticed someone suspicious attracted to my backpack, but didn't have any luck of getting anything out of it because of my lovely rain cover. 

 

So, from today on, if you've got a broken umbrella, don't just throw it away. Make it an art!
