Step 7Sock attachment and seam
Start by attaching the truncated tip around the slider at the top of the umbrella. Then form the cone shape by taping the bottom of your cut-out to the handle.
Depending on the material you use the methods of closing the seam will vary. The material I chose is thin and melts with no trouble under the heat from the glue gun (no glue). Carefully and gently I was able to seam the sock shut, the seam may warp slightly but still looks good.
(I recommend practicing on scrap material first, it's very easy to melt right through the sock. An issue that is hard to repair and may compromise the awesomeness of your umbrella.)
