I am a long time reader, but I haven't posted in such a long time. It is so much fun to see how creative everyone is. I absolutely LOVE these! What a wonderful idea.

Thanks for sharing!

Linda, I guess your plant markers are my favorite garden junk for the year!!! Wow, wow and more wow's !! I love them and have to have some in my gardens. Now for the hunt!Thanks for sharing them with us. Ellen

Thank you so much. They're very easy to make. I cut the plates with tin snips, or a jigsaw with a metal blade, or score them and bend them back and forth in a vice till they break. This picture shows the back. The grain of the boards on back runs up and down, so the front board won't break. They also serve to stop the screws from blowing through a single board. Don't forget to drill pilot holes for the screws. The boards will probably crack if you don't.

I found a guy who sells license plates in Ohio. He's my 'license plate guy for life', lol. His prices are great and he has anything anyone might need. Email me and I'll share him with you. Linda

Too Cool!!!!

Very cute markers! Very fun! I was wondering where in the heck you got all those license plates from! I was hoping you weren't running around with a screwdriver in parkinglots!

LOL, Luna, Wish I would have thought of that. DS really likes the sunflower one. His big sunflowers are a little past their prime, but I'll take a photo when the next ones bloom. Linda

Linda, please see if your guy has a 1947 Alabama license plate. I want one soooo badly. I've seen two on eBay and they went for $50-$60. Jeeez.

hugs, Karen

What a great idea!! I agree with what everyone said - very colorful and a lot of fun! Except I don't understand how sunflowers can be passed their prime in July. Do you plant them out early in Cali?

These are remarkable! I love signs for the gardens & yours are the cutest!

Thanks again,

Cait, my son has a pretty small yard. The big sunflower I wanted to photograph with the sign is past it's prime. Maybe I'll deadhead it later this week and see if that helps. There's another one that hasn't bloomed yet. DGKs love those giant flowers.

Karen, License plates on Ebay all go for more than my price range. I'll contact my guy and ask him about that one and let you know. Linda

These are one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!!!! Brilliant!!!

Thought I responded... but that was at 6:00am ... I also love this one.. Your creations are all soo wonderful and colorful. I need some tin snips. Had some license plates somewhere to use as roofs on birdhouses..............

these are awesome.
you could have a great business at the farmers markets selling these - especially the sunflower sign.
the second i find some license plates, i'm going to copy this!! i love them!

Thanks again all,

GI, email me and I'll send you my plate guy's information. He has all the plates you could ever need.

We took some to the nursery today and they will buy them. They even want some funny ones, besides the 'normal' ones. My kind of people, lol. Linda

I really love how you use the license plates to create things. Where do you find all your license plates?

Hi Cindee, Email me and I'll send you my plate guy's info. I'm not sure it's appropriate to post it on here, and will give it to anyone who wants it. It's great to not have to hunt for them anymore. Linda

Just FANTASTIC! You never cease to amaze me with your creativity!!!! When my brother passed away, I found a box of license plates in his garage! Hmmmmmmmm... GREAT IDEA!!!! Bear Hugs! Kirk

These are GREAT! I love em! I would also like the "plate guy's" info. I'd love to do this on my kids' fort.

Linda, one of the coolest things I have seen here in awhile!!! Very unique, I LOVVVEE THEMMM!I would like the info, too. Have been wanting to make a street sign for my Ms. Beatrice on her bike! They are incredibly awesome! And, I love the way you reinforced them to make them sturdier!! Cool idea, keep crafting, were WATCHING!!!!:>)
BLESSINGS-SHERRI

WHoa! Mrs Beatrice is cool!

(((Linda))) you know I love your markers!

What a great idea for plant markers! Lets see the squirrels run off with those!! LOL

Ms. Beatrice sure is a cutie!

~Sandy~

Those are such a great idea....I started saving old plates for birdhouse roofs,too,lol...inspired by you:) I've had to take them away from my husband a few times when he wanted to throw them away! Well,this is a maybe one day project :)

I just saw this post about the license plate guy. I guess I forgot to check back after I posted that post. Hmmm and now he is out of commission for a bit. my email is cindee11461@gmail.com

Very clever!! Love the signs and Miss Beatrice.

Hi, daisydal(7)

You've posted very nice markers, It's looking so amazing and funny both. I'll try to create like this for my garden. Even I use my old kitchen tools to create markers for plants. But recently I've nothing to post here like you :(

Looking for something new from your side...!

lindasewandsew, are you still active on this forum? I love your signs? I'm new to the GJ forum. I thought I'd email you to get your plate guy's contact info, but can't figure out how to do that. I went to your profile and couldn't find it. You are really talented!
