License Plate Map

By DIY Maven

Much more interesting than a refrigerator magnet collection of every state in the union, how about assembling a license plate from every state in the union and making a map of them?

This limited edition piece, created by Aaron Forster, is approximately 57" W x 33" H, and at 3,500 bucks, it isn’t cheap. But hey, we’re DIYers, right? A pair of tin snips or, better yet, an oxycetaline blow torch, a map for reference and some plane tickets and you’re on your way. Okay, you might say, but the price of the air fare will be a lot more than 3,500 bucks. True, but what a souvenir you’d have when you’re done!

The original piece, License Plate USA, is available through Sundance.

Yeah, the dude uses recent to 50 year old plates. And did you notice Montana? Wouldn't even have to cut that one.

I can't speak for the rest of the country, but Ohio license plates haven't looked like that for 20 years.
