Default Old License Plate Usage Ideas?

So I sold my Targa today, hoping to pick up a 996TT within the next few weeks/months. Now I have another set of plates to add to my collection of cars I've sold throughout the years. I probably have 75 or so. Any creative ideas on what to do with these? I've seen where people have cut them up to make words and such. Looking for something different to maybe accentuate the garage.

I’ve seen them joined together and then cut into the shape of different states.

If I had 75 license plates I would just cover a wall or two with them. Keep them whole. Then you can look at that wall and every plate will bring back fond (hopefully) memories of the things you did in that car.

I donated my National Guard plate to a local dive bar that lets you put it on their wall.
I saved my CA plate with the sunset scene on it. Numbers are SAT469, used to get alot of comments on it.

Some years ago I bought a 356 Cabrio that had old license plates under the carpet covering rust holes...!!

My grandfather worked for a county as a grader operator and equipment operator for many many years, in their state the plates were only good for one year and you got new ones every year.. He would occasionally get called to help the DMV get rid of all the old plates, One year he bought them for the scrap price and used them to shingle the roof of his barn.. about 25 different colors..

When it rained or hailed, that roof made some serious noise..
