License Plate Purses

Along with making a unique fashion statement, license plate purses also make an environmental statement. Made out of old license plates and various other recycled items such as recycled tires, hub caps, soda bottle caps, etc., license plate purses look good, while doing their part for saving the environment at the same time!

License plate purses cost between $50 and $100 online. They are generally handmade by order rather then mass produced. And many website manufacturers offer to make your license plate purse out of your old license plates or even a license plate from your state. As you can tell, license plate purses are a great idea for a friend or relative who has just bought a new car or gotten their driver's license for the first time.

License plate purses are typically made into cigar box style purses, which are rigid, square cases with the license plate adorning the outside. However, other styles of license plate purses curve the license plate into a cylinder-shaped purse or attach the full license plate onto a mini backpack purse. Many custom license plate purse manufacturers also offer to personalize your license plate with your name, pets name, favorite band, etc. However, this style of license plate purse is obviously not made from a genuine license plate.

Making your own license plate purse is also a possibility with the following recycled materials:

  • retired license plates, recycled tires

  • pieces of hub caps

  • vintage soda bottle or beer caps

  • soda can tabs

  • rubber tires

  • seat belt buckles
