Garage Door Décor

Why not some décor for your side door on your garage? I have had this old broken shovel laying around for several months after the handle broke, and yes the shovel can still can be fixed, but for now, its garage door décor. Actually, this (décor) would look awesome on an old gate or even a tree.
I think the shovel works perfect with this old piece of barn wood!
But how to attach the shovel to the wood?
Plate holders, yes plate holders. I was hunting for a way to hold the shovel on the wood, nothing seemed to work and then I found old plate holders.  Two on the front and one on the back, yes it seemed to work!  It takes a little time getting them placed correctly to hold the shovel, but keep working with it until you get it to hold the way you want it on the wood. The extra piece (not the spring) on the back hangs on the door nail.
Yellow spider mums from Hobby Lobby were hot glued on the board and a yellow polka-dot bow was added. I stenciled with white paint the word dig and my garage door décor was finished!

 I love the way the morning light shines through the trees on my garage door décor.

What a creative idea to use a broken shovel for decoration, I love it! Garage doors can be so ugly and plain , this really adds some nice detail! I'm glad you joined Sweet Inspiration, have a great week!!

Question: How does your garage open & close? Is yours a solid door that lifts or do you have panels (hard to tell from the picture). Thanks!

It is just a side door to the garage. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for the question.
