Here’s a very cool 1950’s “Yell-A-Phone” (What a great name) megaphone.
The megaphone hangs from an old, rusty hook. A vintage pickle jar is used as a vase within the megaphone.
Here’s all the junk used in this project. Cheerleader Megaphone Old Painted Shelf Pickle Jar Rusty Hook Vintage Candy Tin Lid
Vintage candy tin lid is transformed into a finial.
The wooden back is cut from an old shelf. The finial was snipped from the candy tin lid and then applied to the wood.

A 1950's cheerleader megaphone is combined with discarded wood shelving, an old tin lid and some vintage finds to create a unique way of displaying a bouquet tulips.
