I was at a sale not long ago and found a HUGE BOX of license plates.  Not just a few, but a ton, and for a great price.  Most of them were Missouri plates and not all that old, so they don’t hold a lot of market value, but there are sooo many things that you can do with these plates.  Don’t pass em’ up and don’t throw yours away… here are a few ideas to get you rolling.

 

I took that stack of Missouri license plates and cut them into stars {actually my super-strong husband cut them with tin snips, but I totally could have done it by myself ~ wink, wink}.  Then I glued Super Strong Magnetsto the back of the license plate stars. Voila ~ hip little magnets.

I also used wire to make a hanger from a few of the plates ~ add the star magnets and you have the perfect magnet board for your mud room.

Of course all of these things are available at the Cactus Creek STORE… I have a few license plates left so you can do it yourself ~ and also a few little magnet stars for your buying pleasure.  Want me to mail you one??  They’re only $3 each ~ just call 816.878.2278.

Recycle * Repurpose * RE~LOVE

This idea will be featured this morning on the Junk in my Trunk Radio Show {JIMT} which airs every Monday, Thursday & Saturday from 10am till 11am on Kansas City’s 1140am KCXL & 1160am KCTO.
