Funky album covers find new life in this creative and incredibly simple how-to from Paper and Stitch. Since album covers are already constructed as sleeves, the only materials necessary to turn them into a totally flat but generously sized landing strip pocket are a pair of scissors and foam mounting squares.
We really appreciate this idea, because it can feel sacrilegious to recycle old album covers, or pass up a great one at the thrift store because framing would be too done.

It could also be sacrilegious to cut them up!

They're not even! This is the worst idea since fringing a bear.

YIKES. Any that look good enough to display should not be cut, IMO
Besides, vinyl is making a huge comeback. Amazon even has a vinyl store.

Great idea. Time to get rid of those old album sleeves.

Vinyl still sounds like *ss. Nice to see the sleeves being put to good use - big album art was the only good thing we lost in the transition to the CD.

Hilarious. But I secretly like it (the album covers, not the fringed pelt)...I think.

i love this. i buy and love listening to vinyl, but buying some crappy old kitschy albums from the goodwill store up the street and turning them into storage is AWESOME. mormon tabernacle choir for 25 cents, here i come!

Wow, I think that's the first time I've heard someone praise CDs over vinyl.
