I have been making these for over 20 years now. It started because I did not want to throw out one of my favorite 45s that had bad scratches and skips. (probably from me playing to too much) SO I cut the part out with the label and stacked a few other pieces on for effect and embellished with some colorful glitter glue you can buy for your glue gun and then I attached a pin back and whaa-la... My favorite record, that I can keep for ever and enjoy wearing on my blouse or pined to my purse. I never cut up good, playable records. (I guess that's the DJ in me.) Just ones that are warped or badly scratched and really can not be played.
