I've made several drink umbrella shades using simply Elmer's white glue.

It looks like the artist used a wire frame and started from the top, working his way down. If I were to build a structure of this size, I would likely wrap the frame of the shade's sides with a more sturdy lining and then cover with the drink umbrellas.
