As you may know I had craft army last week and after returning home had a few left over records to use up. I finally got around to making a record book. Although I am not UBER pleased with it.. I'm pretty pleased with it. This was the record in question: and this was my dollar fifty book from Michael's

Instructions

  1. Small blah 084

    first I measured the dimensions of the book.

  2. Small blah 085

    Then traced that onto the record.

  3. Small blah 087

    (make sure that when you're drawing the dimensions ON the record they are a little bigger than the book.. you don't want book overlapping the record....right?

  4. Small blah 086

    Heat the oven to 200C or about 400F

  5. Small blah 090

    Place that record of yours into the oven

  6. Small blah 091

    Wait about 5 minutes until it gets flopping.. and pull it out and as quick as possible cut out your desired shape.

  7. Small blah 092

    This is as far as I got the first time round... and then I placed it back in the oven to "melt" flat.

  8. Small blah 094

    Get your glue gun hot and ready and glue the book and place the record on. I added a glittery stencil thing I also found at Michael's.

  9. Small blah 095

    some girl told me she paid 40 bucks for a record book in town!!! Mine.. 3 dollars and f'ty cents.. BOOya baby.

  10. Small blah 093

    I even had left over bits from this project.. and they were curled kinda like a baseball cap rim.. oh ideas ideas.
