[DIY] Making a nameplate with brass.

Brass nameplates are gorgeous and cool, aren’t they? This one is made by cutting each letter out of a brass plate and attaching legs to them.

It takes some effort, but since a nameplate is the face of your home, give it your best shot.

When installing, stick masking tape onto a piece of Styrofoam and insert the legged letters into it.

Use the masking tape with the holes as a template to drill holes in the installation spot, and it will go smoothly.

If the nameplate oxidizes and the color deteriorates, polish it with a metal polishing cream to make it shine again.
