A lot of us still remember the days of playing our favorite vinyl article albums on a turntable, and can recall the hope of bringing that album home from the article store to give it a spin and play our radio favorite again and again. Here is a excellent way to resurrect one or two of those old article albums and show them off in an artsy way and safe them at the same time.
I was inspired to generate this decorating scheme when I came over an album shaped hanging frame with a glass cover to safe the front of the album jacket. That of policy is the part that holds the article itself. The frame was designed to display album covers on a wall as decorative art. Throughout the decades of modern music as we know it, specifically the time period from the psychedelic 60s to the present time, the design and artwork that would go in to an album jacket cover, and the more current Cd covers, at times has resulted in breathtaking and historically essential art. So, when I discovered this frame designed to show off some of those more artsy album covers, I was immediately drawn to the idea and started to make a mental list of the old albums I had that might work well displayed on my walls.
Then, like that proverbial light bulb flashing over my head, I had a revolutionary idea that had me jumping straight through the ceiling with excitement. What if I took an old article album or two, great musically speaking, but lacking in artistic interpretation on the cover, and used that same frame I found to display the vinyl article itself. Of course, you must be request what is so former about that idea? Well, pull up a chair and I will show you how to make that dark vinyl disc a work of art.
First let us look at the supplies you will need for this concentration drawing project:
·Square album frame with glass cover: (12 ¼in. X 12 ¼in.);
·An album, without the jacket cover
·Scrapbooking theme paper, theme wrapping paper, or any artistic paper that projects the message or theme of the album itself.
·Thicker cardboard cut in to the quadrilateral dimensions of your frame (this should match the shape given above that is intended for an album cover to fit inside)
·Adhesive glue stick or artist spray adhesive
To put this framed art scheme together, you are plainly taking an old article album and showing it off on your wall in the same way that music artists are awarded once their recordings reach a distinct level of sales. Whereas their successfully selling article albums are represented in gold or platinum, our framed records will be the actual albums themselves with a decorative theme border surrounding them.
Step 1: You may have a quadrilateral piece of the thick cardboard included with your frame. However, if you do not, just cut a quadrilateral piece of cardboard in the dimensions listed above from an lowly cardboard box. Test fit the cardboard inside the frame before going any further. Once you have a fit, set your cardboard on a flat face safe for cutting upon. Now, take your album of choice, and place it exactly in the center. A perfect way to find the true town is to first quantum your quadrilateral and make a pen mark at that point. Then, plainly lay the album over the cardboard and line up the hole in the middle of the album with that pen mark. Bet the inventor of the article album never realized the town hole had a dual purpose, did he? Once you have marked your place, take a sharp utility blade and moderately score the cardboard along the circular edge of the album. Once complete, take off the album and cut thoroughly straight through your scored cardboard to take off the inner circle. You are now ready for the next step.
Step 2: You will now want to take your scrapbooking paper or wrapping paper of choice, and cover your cardboard using an adhesive glue stick. Make sure the paper is flat against the cardboard without any bubbles, and then cut out the town circular quantum where the album itself will be inserted. Once the paper is dry, place it inside the album frame, insert your album, and place the protective backing that came with the frame back in place.
That is it! Your artsy framed old article album is ready to be hung on the wall and admired. Have fun with it.
