Head to a well ventilated area and spray paint the DIY White Umbrella pink. Make sure to cover evenly to avoid blotches. Allow to dry for about 20 minutes.

Using your Hot Glue Gun, place and glue the Silver Heart Confetti all over the pink portion of the Umbrella. Make sure to use just a small dot of glue to avoid any mess on the newly painted parasol.

Next, grab your White Paint and Foam Paint Brush and paint the Planter Box. We still wanted to see the grain of the wood, so only added two coats of paint.

Fill the painted Planter Box with Pink Gumballs or a similar pink candy filler.

Place the handle of the Umbrella into the middle of the candy-filled Planter Box. It may take a bit of adjusting to get the Umbrella to be centered and steady, but the Gumballs will keep the Umbrella in place!

Lastly, place some fresh flowers into the gumball-filled Planter Box. We used a mix of pink and white flowers to match our Elephant Themed Baby Shower! This project made for an adorable piece of decor at our Elephant Themed Baby Shower and would be a cute addition to any baby shower you may be hosting. Make sure to check out our Elephant Themed Baby ShowerDIY Baby’s First BankMemory Art and Peanut Butter Banana Cupcake Recipe for even more baby shower inspiration!
