- License Plate Doortags -

Description: For the license plate number we used the person's initials for the first 3 letters and their room number for the last 3. In between was a cardinal (our school mascot). Then around the border we had their full name on the top and where they were from on the bottom (sort of like dealerships do).

Here is another version of the same idea:

Description: I'm a female RA on a coed floor of about 50 residents so i wanted to make sure my doortags would work well for everybody.  our state has a good KU edition of the government issued license plates so i created similar ones and "personalized" each plate for each resident by putting their names or nicknames where the usual numbers or letters might go.  now they all have personalized plates - even if they are made out of paper.  this did take some time to complete, but everybody still has them up and they like them a lot.

Instructions, Things Needed:

a design of a license plate
paper
markers
stickers (maybe)
a little creativity
