Question
QUESTION: Hi, I have an old (like 2 years, not antique) Arkansas Razorbacks Vanity plate that has just been hanging on my wall.  It’s a simple white background with the red razorback infront.  I want to make something creative out of it.  I've looked online and found mostly purses and birdhouses.  Well, I don’t carry a purse, lol, and I live in the country with  plenty of birds around so… I'm pretty handy with cutting metal due to my years as a barn roofer so I'm open to any ideas no matter how complex.  I'm just in a rut and cant think of anything to do.  I was hoping to come up with something useful too.  But it doesn’t have to be.

Thanks, Bill

ANSWER: Hi, Bill, I'm really sorry, I can't help with this project. My expertise is in art exploration with children, not in crafts for adults. But don't give up! Someone will be able to help you.

Answer
I saw a cool idea at a street fair... the people had made book covers out of license plates. Here is a peek at someone's use of making a book cover: http://dadamscreativeco.blogspot.com/2010/01/license-plate-books.html
I'm sure there are other ideas on the internet. This is just one.

Hope that helps!
