After years hating this blank wall but having no ideas to improve it finally I've made this! Calm down! I only used those I didn't like it! I still have my vinyl collection.
If you want to make your own, you just have to glue the disks to the wall. I used a special tape designed to be used with carpets but worked just well and they still stay on the wall.

Still have a bunch of those old record albums and 45s hanging around? Well, here is a fun sculpture you can make for your wall. First get some two by twos and make your self a simple box with two cross members in the center.
Does anyone know of any crafts that you can make from record albums, besides a bowl? Thanks.

I took the 45 records and used them around a round mirror used it like a frame.
I have also seen where the have taken the record album and made jewelery out of them, mostly earrings.

I recently saw where someone cut the center part of the record out that has the paper label on it & used them for coasters.
I saw them folded about 1/3 up and then mounted on a wall to hold mail. It looked really cool. You could even fold them and flip them over, hang them upside down to use as a small shelf.
I turned the records into wall clocks and turned the actual album cover into notebooks. Not sure if I have a pic of the clocks I made, but here are a couple of samples of the Record Album Cover Notebooks I made.
