License Plate Wall Art

Here was our inspiration
 
 
 
 Step One: Find License plates with the letters you will need. We checked Antique Malls and Flea Markets for ours.



Step Two: Use tinsnips to cut each individual letter out. Be careful and wear gloves, the edges are sharp.

 
Step Three: We used a block of wood and laid a washcloth over it to flatten our letters with a rubber mallet.
 
Step Four: We drilled holes in the top and bottom of each letter using a small drill bit and inserted brads. The brads were for decorative purposes only. We then used E6000 to glue our letters on a piece of wood.
 
 

Step Five: We waited for the letters to dry overnight then added a wallhanger to the back of the piece of wood.

Step Six: DONE, hang your new wall art.
