I have so many fond memories of my records and my record player, like putting on my headset and cranking up the tunes while playing on my PC jr.!
Album cover coasters
I saw this really cool coaster tutorial on The Spotted Sparrow and I knew I had to give it a try. And when I was trying to come up with different kinds of crafts for the craft-a-long I remembered this tutorial and decided I would immortalize some of my favorite ’80s album covers on coasters.
So here they are:
Belinda – Belinda Carlisle
Beauty and the Beat – The Go-Gos
Like a Prayer – Madonna
The Best of Berlin – Berlin
Like A Prayer turned out the best, and rightfully so. It is my favorite album of all time, and the one I would want with me if I was stuck on a deserted island, that and maybe Concrete Blonde’s Bloodletting too!
Anyway, the project was really a lot easier than I anticipated. I just scanned my CD covers into my computer and printed them out the size of the tile. I then followed the instructions on the tutorial. They did curl up a little, so next time I think I need more Mod Podge underneath the pictures, but other than that they turned out pretty cool!
I really wanted to include Duran Duran’s Rio and Bananarama’s True Confessions, since those were two of my absolute favorite ’80s albums, but I couldn’t find my CDs. Maybe I’ll add them to my coasters the next time I get up in my attic. 🙂

Great idea!
However I must point out that, although a Steelers fan myself, the song is getting annoying 😛
(but I have a thing about music on websites, so it might just be me!)
