I now have a lot of umbrella skeletons.The lengths and materials vary from steel to plastic to aluminium and some a long, some very short and jointed.
Anyone got any ideas for the struts?

What a great project! I fished four umbrellas out of the trash this afternoon and might turn some of them into bags. As for the struts...I agree with KD1UC - the struts can be used for kites made out of the umbrella fabric.

WE use them here to make rosaries. The strut is just the right size to help tie knots in the rosaries. I've been collecting them for years. Now I have a use for the skin, that I have built up! I sometimes make rain capes for little children with them, but this idea is more versatile.

I read on another site about adding a new cloth to the skeleton, adding christmas light and having a kind of lamp. The site used it for a garden but I was going to make one for my dorm.

Cool idea, I am working on another "Green" tote idea myself. The other thing the skins can be made into are kites. There are plenty of plans out there and you might be able to use some of the struts as spars. Other than that or an ET Phone Home dish antenna I have no ideas right now. However, the metal is recyclable keeping along your green idea.
