Make Do and Mend

The Mother In Law has given us a table and chairs with a big parasol for the garden. The parasol has a couple of holes in places and I'm going to patch them over with some appliqué flowers.
I'm using the big flowers because I don't want to attempt invisible mending because, unless you are an expert, it's not really invisible. Better to put a giant flower on it as an artistic statement!
Do you make highly visible repairs to things?

We have the idiom, "Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do, or do without." For me, whether I make repairs or buy a replacement depends on the item and the repair.
