I like to say that toothbrush rugs are essentially making a silk purse from a sow's ear... here I prove it. I use two umbrellas to add on to a rug started from a shower curtain. In this particular video, I finish destroying an umbrella the winds off Lake Michigan at Chicago did a pretty good job on!
