Mini Ikea Umbrella base

youmagine

Instead of buying a big and heavy concrete base from Ikea, I chose to secure my umbrella to our balcony railing using a strap. But the pointy end of the umbrella kept slipping around quite a bit. To solve this problem, I designed and printed a small base that fits perfectly over the bottom of the umbrella. After printing it out, you can attach some non-slip foam or felt material to make it even more stable.
