The title pretty much explains it all. This “wreath” started as a dustpan. I was helping to clear out my cousin’s grandfather’s house after he moved and I snagged this vintage dustpan. I love the colors in the graphic, and to me, they seemed perfect for fall.
I drilled a hole in the top and added some Indian Corn and husks. I can’t decide if I like it better with the fabric scrap ribbon or not.
I have been absolutely loving the challenge of trying to create and post for 31 days. I think I’ve missed two days so far, but I’ll just continue posting my projects into November if I need to. Speaking of projects, I think I’m going to switch over to the next holiday. Yep, you might be seeing some Christmas in October posts. I dislike it as much as you do, but maybe you’ll get an idea for an upcycled craft you want to try out this year.
Until tomorrow!

Jenny,
This is such a great idea! I would have never thought of this! I love unexpected door decor, and this one is perfect! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much, Cat! I know some people look at is as a bit wacky, but I LOVE it!
Such a cute and unique idea, Jenny!
Thanks, Amy! A couple of people who have come over have had to ask me what the corn was sitting in. Haha, I guess it was a strange use of a dustpan!
I just adore the combination of rustic, vintage, and natural. Great idea 🙂
Thanks, LZ! I kinda wish I could keep it up all year. 😉
This is SO darling!!!! I love to upcycle/repurpose so this is RIGHT up my alley! Thanks for linking up. You have a new follower!
Brilliant Jenny, thanks for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!
What a fantastic idea! I love non traditional “wreaths”. Bold move and I love it.
