 Why You'll Love It

✅ DIY Creative Design — Make It Yours

Standard-sized holes are perfectly spaced to fit many standard shoe charms; fit may vary by charm. Love anime, dogs, flowers, or your team? Snap them in for a one-of-a-kind look and change your vibe any day. (Charms sold separately.)

✅ Flexible TPU That Helps Reduce Plate Rattle

Made from flexible soft TPU with a silicone-like feel, the frame is designed to cushion the plate, reduce vibration, and limit direct contact with painted surfaces when installed correctly. No more metal clanging.

✅ Weather-Resistant Flexible TPU

Unlike metal that rusts or cheap plastic that cracks in the sun, the flexible TPU is designed for everyday road conditions; inspect the frame and hardware after washing and during seasonal temperature changes. Built-in bottom drainage holes release water instantly.

✅ Street-Smart Slim Design — State Name Stays Visible

Engineered with a slim top bar so your state name and registration stickers stay fully visible. Designed for standard US 12" × 6" plates; verify vehicle clearance and local plate-visibility rules before installation.

✅ Tamper-Resistant Hex Hardware Included

Every kit ships with stainless steel tamper-resistant hex screws (included hex key required for removal) and matching screw caps for a clean, secure, stealthy finish.

Seriously cute.

This license plate frame is just the cutest. It absolutely makes the 16 year old in me so, so happy. It is very solidly built, and once you pop your charms on they are not going anywhere!! I ordered two sets of charms on Amazon, and found this to be endlessly fun to play with. The whole package is very thoughtful, including two sets of screws and even nice, shiny, black branded screw cups. I'm not 100% sure that it is legal to put in my car, as the top frame is rather thick and will surely obliterate the state name at the top of my license plate. Might attach to the front of my car. Very impressed, and it would make an amazing prezzie for a young girl or someone young at heart. ❤️ My only constructive criticism is that it would be cool if it came with one or two generic charms, as I had to order some and wait for those to arrive..... I kinda wanted to start playing with it the minute I opened it. (That is a good thing!)

Super cute idea for shoe charms on a license plate frame!

Cutest idea ever for a girl car! When I saw this, I just had to get it! It’s a pink license plate cover that you can pop the shoe charms in so you can decorate it the way you want. I thought this is perfect for my niece’s car and she’s so into those charms for her croc shoes. It’s a rubber license plate frame cover, and you can easily pop those charms through the holes and put the ones in that you want and take them out exchange them do whatever. It’s a great idea for a girl because it is colored pink. I’m sure they probably come in other colors, but I got the pink one and just think she’s gonna have a ball with this. It’s very good quality heavy duty rubber. Easy to put on the license plate frame easy to take off. I’m not sure how many charms it will fit around with the slots, but there are many many places to place charms. I given an A+. I would highly recommend it if you have a girl that’s into decorating her car.

Such a cute & original plate holder! Highly recommend for creative individuals

This is SUCH a cool idea! I’ve been wanting a very particular floral license plate frame forever but have never been able to find the one I’ve envisioned. This frame makes it possible to create and customize into whatever you want! It is a soft material but it still feels sturdy and waterproof. I haven’t tried it on my car yet because I plan to customize it to look exactly how I want, but it looks like it will fit and be an easy installation. The charms hold on exceptionally well and can even be a bit tricky to get on and off, but I’m comforted to know they definitely won’t fall off. I just want to first find a good sealant spray for the charms to ensure they won’t fade in the sun, but it’s nice to know that I can always switch them out even if they do fade! I’d highly recommend this if you want a cute, custom, and unique addition to your car. I’d love to get a second one for my front plate now :)

Nice quality soft license plate cover, with one flaw

Nice quality soft license plate cover, with one flaw. Many states put their state name at the top, and in some areas, this is illegal to cover. Some areas may be more picky than others about this. If we get pulled over for it, I may end up modifying the plate holder, as this one looks great. I really like that this is soft and durable - it'll prevent scratching from the license plate. TPU is supposed to offer good UV resistance, so I'm looking forward to no color fade. Installation was easy and came with the tools needed. Since you can customize the look with charms, it is a good value for money, as you won't need to buy additional frames to change themes.

Bonito, resistente y fácil de instalar

Este marco de matrícula me gustó mucho por su diseño elegante y discreto. Queda muy bien en el carro y le da un toque diferente sin verse exagerado. El material se siente resistente, no se ve barato y aguanta bien la intemperie.La instalación fue rápida y sencilla; trae todos los tornillos y accesorios necesarios, así que no tuve que comprar nada adicional. Una vez colocado, queda firme y no vibra al manejar.Por el precio, es una muy buena opción si buscas un marco de placa decorativo pero funcional. Lo recomiendo.

Cute idea, solid hardware and quality, needs a charm starter, blocks state ID on plate

**Update**Now that I have my new licence plates, I realize I cannot use this cover. They fit well, but block the State identifier - which is illegal. Even upside down with the thick part in the bottom. You should be fine with a front plate blocked, but if you use this on your back plate, be careful and don't get fined!I first noticed how clean and intentional the packaging feels. Easy-open tape tabs instead of fully sealed edges. That alone made opening it less annoying.The frame itself is soft and floppy TPU with a matte finish. It absorbs tapping well and isn't likely to rattle. Racing red matches the listing, and matches my VW GLI. The cutouts are clean and evenly spaced for charms. It seems a little more durable than I expected.The hardware kit is includes multiple screw options, washers, anti-theft screws, and the tools needed to install. Everything is included and installation is simple.The L-bar screws are clearly for anti-theft, which is actually smart. Just make sure you keep the tool in your car for if you ever need to remove the plate quickly. If you don’t have it, you’ll be annoyed.I don’t have Croc charms, and that’s where this feels incomplete for the premium price. The frame looks bare without them. Amazon sells charms in bulk, but finding smaller packs I like is harder than expected. Including one or two random starter charms would help, especially for buyers who don’t already have a collection. It would make the $36 feel like a better value, and you spend less than a dollar to put a few charms in with it.I usually ignore the notes included with products, but this one is done well enough that the tone actually lands. It made me want to keep supporting the business.The frame does what it’s supposed to do. It just needs a starting point for the charm part to really land fully.

Very Nice DIY License Plate Frame with CharmOotion

The DIY License Plate Frame with Holes to put Charms is a nice and different way to display your plates. First the rubber plate is nice and thick. It’s not gonna tear, rip, or fall apart real easily. Besides holes for the charmes it also has holes for good drainage. You can add quite a few charms to your license plates with these and it won’t hurt the functionality of the frame.' This is a quality frame at a good price.

A Stylish Idea That Takes Patience to Accessorize

I recently purchased the IY License Plate Frame with Charm-Compatible Holes, and while I love the idea behind it, actually accessorizing with charms took more effort than expected. The universal TPU cover fits well on my US license plate, and the black textured finish plays ww. However, adding shoe charms and clog accessories proved tricky—I ended up breaking and then fixing a few charms just to get them on the plate.I appreciate that the frame is rust-proof and weather-proof, which gives me ease for long-term use. Still, if I had to do it all over again, I would probably just go for a license plate holder with pre-attached bling for a less frustrating installation process.Despite the hassle, I’m putting this plate on my vehicle because of all the effort I put into getting it together. That said, I’m already on the lookout for an easier alternative to replace it, as the installation process was more frustrating than fun. If you’re patient and enjoy DIY projects, this license plate frame could be a creative way to show off your style. Otherwise, you might want to consider a simpler option.Overall, I’m giving it 4 stars for a unique and customizable concept but taking off a star due to the challenging charm installation, which is what gives it character.

Fun, Functional & Unique, Just Needs Better Hole Placement

I really love my new Pretty in Pink license plate cover! It is so adorable, and comes in my favorite color Soft Pink. This DIY project is perfect for anyone who loves Jibbitz charms and personalization. The rubber material feels high quality and holds up my license plate really well.As I put my Jibbitz in the provided holes on the cover, I noticed most fit really snug, just needed to make sure to only use snug fitting charms. I liked the amount of holes provided, so I could create a flower themed cover. Just be sure to double check the fitting of your Jibbitz.The cover comes with all the tools, nuts, bolts you need to attach to your car. You will want to make sure the size and placement of your Jibbitz charms, so not to block any of your registration stickers. I didn't see much movement of the charms when I drove, which attests to the quality and sizing of the holes (which could be a problem if using the wrong size charms). Good thing I noticed that there was no scratching at all on my car since the rubber is soft and smooth.My new Pink license plate cover looks adorable, and adds to the uniqueness of my car. Highly recommend buying this DIY cover, worth the money, just check the Jibbitz coverage with plate on and sizing...

The simplest way to create something entirely unique

It's rare that I review items hastily, but this is one that I had to get some discussion "on the books" about because it's rare to find an item this unique, particularly in the world of automobiles.If you're someone who is constantly running into those little shoe charms and thought they were so adorable, or fit your personality, or catered to one of your fandoms—and you wanted to purchase them so badly but had absolutely no idea where you could possibly put them since you don't own the right shoes—this is your chance.Not only can you purchase those charms, but you can display them in a way that's going to have people constantly asking how you managed to do it.I feel as though the world of car accessories is either very stuffy and traditional or absolutely obnoxious.This bridges the gap by giving you a clean slate that's easy to personalize while still maintaining a really unique directive.I measured, poked, and prodded, and it seems as though all of the notches for shoe charms on this license plate frame are perfectly sized. The texture made me feel far more comfortable regarding my only issue prior to acquiring it: the security of these charms while driving down the road.I feel as though both the construction of this and centripetal force will likely save all of your charms—although, naturally, you agree to the chance of some damage or loss when putting small silicone items on your vehicle in a location that commonly brushes up against other things.However, I do think this product gives you the best chance of maintaining them for as long as you can.Installation of the frame itself is remarkably easy, and it comes with a complete hardware set (which I will leave to my husband).Right now, I'm too busy trying to find the perfect arrangement of shoe charms for my particular vehicle's color and design. I can't wait to have the opportunity to update this with the look and performance once I've curated my entire collection—although beware, it may be a while. This allows for the kind of creativity that spawns many changed minds and endless pursuits, making this not just a license plate frame, but an exciting side quest.

Amazing addition for your car!!!🚗💜

Hello Amazon family! I am obsessed with cars especially my Challenger and my Mercedes SL race car!! So when I saw this license plate cover that you can actually put charms on. I thought this was made just for me. There are several things that I really appreciate about this product and the company that it comes from. It was invented by a father who invented this so he was able to spend time with his children while having fun! This is the most amazing thing ever. GREAT JOB DAD!! There's that. Now let's get to the product on hand. O MY GOSH!! The first thing that I appreciate about this license plate is but it comes with every type of attachment possible. He really thought this through. clearly he enjoys vehicles as well. The material that the license plate is made out of is bendy so you can place your charms in easily but it is sick and high quality so it's going to last through weather and your charms will not fall out no matter the terrain or how fast you drive. Everything bounces back perfectly to position. This morning when I put it on the vehicle I discovered that for me personally I used it as a cover for the existing bling plate that I already had on. You have to take off the existing license plate cover and then place this on top so it's kind of riding on top of the other license plate cover, I sent a picture, then put it all on together. It works out cool because it keeps a little space for the charms to live. It is not hard to put on. Very easy. I did it by myself this morning. As you can see it's still dark out so I'm not quite awake yet and I was still able to put it on! The price is so reasonable! I actually ordered another one for my Mercedes. If you don't want to put anything on it, it's a great cover for your car license plate, and there are so many little grooves that you can put one or tons of charms, take them on and off as many times as you like, according to how you're feeling. Great for the holidays!! Put charms to reflect how you're feeling, different events that are happening into your life or what I'm going to use it for is a charm life experience of all the things I go through with my vehicle. Kind of like a charm bracelet but for my car. I love my car. It's an extension of me and if you feel the same way about your vehicle, this will be an extension of you and the adventures that you experience well in your vehicle. Remember, your car takes you to all the places that you should be and some that you shouldn't. 😏 No one will ever know except you, your car and your CHARM! See what I did there? Lol😊 Yours in health, Dr. Navarro. Zoom zoom all!!🚗💜

Very cool frame, add your own charms!

This is a fabulous license plate frame. I love the creative option to add your own charms. I put a few charms on and they are very tightly attached. It will take some effort to get them off which since they're on the back of the car that's nice. The material is flexible rubber so its easy to put the charms on. The frame also comes with the needed screws and hardware to attach to the car.

Brilliant idea! Endless options

This matte black license plate frame compatible with shoe charms turns your car into a rolling DIY masterpiece using premium TPU that's tougher and more flexible than silicone for all-weather reliability. Inside the box, the creator explains how they came up with this idea to add the fun and collectable aspects of kids and parents to a functional and whimsical piece of art that you can put on your car. The anti-theft stainless steel screws lock tight, banishing rattles even on bumpy roads, while the slots make swapping charms a breeze for personalized flair. It fits most plates snugly without gaps or wobbles, making your ride stand out at the grocery store, pick up line at school or stoplights. Fun, practical upgrade for women who love adding that custom touch without the hassle. Love this idea!

Cool Idea, Not for Us

Interesting... we could see the idea but it wasn't for us. We don't have the lower two screws so this puppy was just floppin'. Its good quality, looks like something you can 3D print with TPU easily.

Cool and customizable plate frame

This license plate frame fit perfectly around my license plate, without obstructing the view of the tags. I really like that it's flexible, as there is a weird gap between the license plate spot and my rear bumper on my truck, and since this is flexible I was able to get the bottom to fit in between that tiny gap unlike others. Really cool that you can put shoe charms in there, and switch them up when you want to. It looks and feels like it's high quality, and I will have to get another one for my other car.
