Name plates -- where to get one

There are many people who have these name plates around the barn, and I was just wondering where you can get one?

I know there are quite a few places to buy them which you can probably find on the internet with a google search. Ebay would be a good place to look as well.

If you are interested in making your own for pretty cheap you could do one like this:





This is a stall plaque I made for my mare. I just used a pre-cut blank plaque which you can get at Walmart or Hobby Lobby for about $4 or $5. I spray painted it purple and added 2 vinyl decals (which I make) for the names. It has both her barn name, Lenore, and her registered name, Ten Talents.

I had all mine done at our local tack store. I would ask there first because they usually have samples. If they don't then will be able to tell you where to go to get some done.
Cheers!

I get mine done through a lady on ebay, she does stall and tack plates. Tonicorl I think is her userid.

We made ours.
Went to a local craft store, found the plaques and letters. Stained the letters and glued them on :)

If you want to make your own, here is an easy way to do it. (to make one that looks burnt into wood.)

Take a piece wood that your using as the plaque/name plate. Use a dremel to carve/engrave your horse's name into it. ( a small hand held dremel is pretty inexpensive)

Then take some black hobby paint (or a really good black marker) and paint inside the horse's name. Then take some dark wood stain (preferably the one that stains and seals in one) and cover the entire plaque/name plate. And viola! Your done...and it should look like you spent a fortune on it. :)
