License Plates

12 years ago

Thanks for the plates I am starting a wall of plates from people on the Garden Junk forum. So far I have Texas, California, Wyoming, and Arizona.

I have not decided what to do with the spares but I will.

Anyone wanting to send plates I will gladly accept them.

I love the signs & plates !!!! I wanted to find a railroad crossing sign ( because my DH is an engineer ) but I read that having a real street/railroad sign is illegal . With my luck ......
I'm still looking for one - but it will be hidden in my yard . I hope your wall Grows !!! :)

Great idea, Robert! I was saving some of my plates for birdhouse roofs. I always wanted a street sign with my name on it.

Hi! We're 1/3rd of the way there (151 applications as of yesterday) and have until December 1 to collect them. (We can continue into next year if we don't have enough by December- there are all kinds of 'what if's' in that case, so by December 1 is best :) collectordi- right now, we're taking pre-sale orders, which means I'm a middle-man for the DMV. They won't be available on the DMV's website until we collect all 450 prepaid applications for the first round of plates. You can go to www.pollinatorplates.com for more info- there is a 'get your plate' link which should explain the process, and also a FAQ page. You can also email me at pollinatorplates at gmail.com if you have more questions! Thanks very much :) Here is a link that might be useful: Pollinator Plates official website

Do you have a vanity license plate?

Sorry guys. I was spending a fair amount of time on my laptop on Saturday and was catching up on some discussions on this side. I'm a regular/frequent contributor on the Kitchen Table and the Cooking forums. I was browsing here and this discussion piqued my interest. I mentioned my post about the Nissan Cube with the Rubiks personalized plate. I smile when I see it. Also, there are quite a few personalized plates here (Ontario) but they're also a $200 ticket item. I'd never pay that.

How to attach car license plates on a garage wall ?
Q

Any wind could blow them unless secured somehow. Depending on whether or not you will accept holes in your walls, here are a couple thoughts: A) Insert plastic wall anchors then cup hooks for the license plates B) Staple gun a strip of velcro onto the wall. Affix an attachment piece onto the backside of each plate. Easy relocation and minimal wall repairs whenever you change your mind.

Robert, I love your display idea of the lic. plates with the speed limit sign! I sure hope you get a lot more plates from the gang here.

Luna, there is a site you can have a street sign made. I had one done years ago using my show dogs "kennelname'.
Sangaree Road. I'll try to find the site for you, think they sold on eBay and probably still do.

hugs, Karen

You're off to a very good start there! My hubby has a sort of license plate collection too, but he would love that one with the cowboy! His are just local ones.

Robert,
I am so sorry it has taken me so long. I just packed them up to mail on Monday. I put an extra one in in case you get a chance to trade with another collector.
Can't wait to see pics when you have a bunch more up!

I love this idea and I also love the gal who makes signs out of them by cutting letters out! What a great recyle job!
