Here you go; I found a youtube for the directions. Hope this helps. She makes hers from lace and only like a parasol but you could use the cotton fabric; make the parasol like she did; I might not sew the tip quite so tight so the pipe cleaner would go through it and sew the lace on the top; I have Tons of prepackaged lace I got from WM umpteen years ago when I was making my own square dance clothes; I have a huge bin Full! Then just fill with the lavender; tie a narrow ribbon around the top under the lace and cut the pipe cleaner to size and curve over - like a parasol. I think I want to make some - and get rid of some of that lace. I doubt I'd make a dent in what I have. Some if flat lace; some is gathered. What Was I thinking when I got all that. Anyway, hope this helps some.
