Sell them! I bet you could make a few bucks too. Old classical records are highly coveted by some.
Lorraine: sell them on eBay!
Hi Lorraine, if you decide not to sell them and are looking for ideas you could check out this Pinterest board full of record arts and crafts. I've also seen people cover and entire wall with them. It's neat if you're a music lover. https://www.pinterest.com/lindamusick57/vinyl-record-arts-crafts/?lp=true

Hi Katie,
I'm Linda and this is one of my favorite ways to decorate old vinyl records if you don't want to sell them. I love the different looks that you can create. There are a lot of different ones on youtube.com . I picked this one because it's the simplest method. You can search for "strainer painting" on youtube if you'd like to see how others are do it. Some don't use a vinyl record, but you can always use yours with a different method. Wishing you your creative best!
