I made the dustpan out of polypopyleen.

I didnt find normaal polypropyleen sheets so i used the sides of a polypropyleen curverbox as the basic sheet.

The rest of the things i used are:

-a scissor

-a metal ruler

-a soldering iron

-dril bit

for this u use the soldering iron and the metal ruler

whit the soldering iron you melt in a coupel of milimeters in to the polypropyleen

were you can fold the polypropyleen

on the last picture you see wich lines to do at one side the lines that are not markd are for the back side

now you can make the folds if it dosnt go smooth you can take the soldering iron and go back over

It Is Finished

if al the folds are made the dustpan is ready

if the cuts with the soldering iron arent clean you can use sanding paper tho smooth them
