The license plate fish silhouette is done! It turned out almost exactly the way I wanted and that is rare for me to be able to say at the end of a project. While this project was not labor intensive, it required a lot of planning and forethought. To summarize what I did, I followed the following steps.
1. I projected the image I wanted onto a piece of plywood by using a digital projector.
2. I cut out the shape with a jigsaw.
3. I spray painted the shape black.
4. I screwed the license plates to the shape.
5. I placed dots approximately 1/2 inch off the wood on the license plates and around the shape.
6. I connected the dots.
7. Using a pair of tin snips, I cut along the line.
8. I attached a tooth hanger to the back where I felt like the shape was balanced.
That's it! I looked around for a tutorial to follow but couldn't find anything I liked. I decided to document the project as I went in case anyone else wanted to create something similar. If you have any questions, please feel free to DM me on social media or send an email to showmeflyguy@gmail.com.
PS- Donovan, if you are reading this, I have plans for the plates you sent me, I promise! I think you will dig my idea.
