I am drawing a blank on a creative way to display the license plate I got in Chicago. Please share how you are displaying them.

    How bout an old wood pallet. Paint it black or whatever color(s) u like. Attach plates randomly on pallet. 
    Hang wherever. Garage, rec room, office, etc.

    Display pictures of it on eBay with a dollar sign and big numbers in the “list price” box?
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    They go well above doors. Just place it on the trim around a door frame.

    I have all my old car plates glued to my wall in the garage, and plan to add these to it.

    For the ten club plate I made a stand out of some scrap wood.  I took a piece of 1x4 pine and rounded over the front edge.  Then I ran it through the table saw to put a slot in the top that’s about 1/2” deep.  Finished with some paint I had in the garage.

    Lol.  Do you know how much thought I had to put into cutting that slot into a piece of wood?!?  That’s like a full time job!  I’ll post the detailed blueprints later when I get a free minute   🤣

    I heard of someone that made a wood thing display for a pick collection. Good idea for license plate.

    All of these would work well! I have one that is similar but I am displaying them on a shelf.

    That's funny and practical, but not very creative.  =)
