I'd love to be able to get one from each state. I'm also doing the "50 State Stars" project, and was planning on putting them into runners to hang alone the top of the wall in my Machine Shed - and it would be really neat to put a license plate for each state under each star.
The rod goes all the way around the perimeter of the room. I'll put longer projects underneath, and the stars will be like a "valance" over the top.
I've got plates from two states so far - so I've got a long way to go LOL!! I think I'll make the plates like potholders - then I can pin them to the State Stars as I get them - even if it takes a few years.
