• acrylic paint
• sealer
• star stencil
• wire

Instructions:

Spray paint the tag (license plate) using either red or white. That way you will only have to paint one set of stripes. Let dry.
1. Paint on your blue background for stars, let dry.
2. Paint on your other colored stripes, let dry.
3. Use your star stencil to paint on the stars. You can free hand if you like or don't have a stencil.
4. When the stars are dry paint with glitter paint.
5. When completely dry, seal with acrylic sealer and let dry.
6. Put wire in holes at top of tag. Hang and enjoy. Great for the upcoming 4th.

I am always trying to make or find something unusual for my grandson who has Aspberger's. Since he is now 19, it has gotten more difficult. He likes cars and soon will be going to an autotech school.

Here is how to take an old license plate and turn it into a mail holder. Simply place it on the floor with the silver side up. Place your foot in the middle and fold both sides to the center. Make sure it stands flat. Place your mail in it and enjoy ! :)
