Making a garage sign with the Novelty License Plate Generator

Difficulty: easy. Time: 10 minutes. Methods: laser cutting or 3D printing.

A novelty plate is a classic garage, man-cave, and she-shed sign. Start from a preset like MY OTHER CAR IS A BROOM, then make the text your own.

Choose mounting holes or corner slots so you can screw it to a wall, fence, or workbench.
