Here is another quick project I've seen around. I used old Michigan license plates for the front and back (from the bi-centennial 1976). This will be used as a plantar but can be used for almost anything. The one's I've seen were painted all over--I like the red/white/blue look for the upcoming holiday. I will eventually paint the box white but not the plate. JH put this together with scrap wood.

Ahhhh! I just remembered I have some vintage license plates out at our cabin that I've not figured out a project for them yet. I may be onto something now. Thanks for the inspiration.
