How to Put a Brass Plate on a Plaque

Plaques are commonly used as a means of recognizing accomplishments and achievements of individuals, groups or organizations. Presented by schools, sports teams and corporations, plaques often feature a logo or symbol associated with the presenting group. A brass plaque with the name of the recipient and other personalized information is often attached to the plaque before being presented. Brass is a traditional material used with awards, trophies and plaques and can be attached with only a few simple materials.
