License Plate Birdhouses

I love the look of old Minnesota license plates, and I didn't want to toss them after driving around with them for so many years, so I decided to use them to make birdhouse roofs. I bought inexpensive wooden bird houses at the local craft store (about $7 each) and painted them. I marked the center of the license plate on the back with a marker, then placed it back-side-up on the floor and placed a 2X4 board so the board's edge was at the center mark. I stood on the board, and lifted up the edge of the license plate to get a good clean bend. I made a wire loop to go under the roof, then attached the roof to the birdhouse with screws.
