Crates, baskets, and more!
Earlier this year, Animal Crossing: New Horizons received a major update that, in part, gave players the ability to create custom designs for umbrellas.
While players are allowed to design traditional umbrellas, many have created designs that turn umbrellas into crates, boxes, and even animals that can be used as decorations around your island (you’ll just have to use your imagination to pretend the umbrella is really a “square” shape).
Here are some of the creative umbrella designs we’ve come across!
For more information about using Design Codes in New Horizons, check out our guide.
