Vinyl door curtain

So I found around 100 old records in the dumpster at work and had no idea what to do with them all. I looked at some of the projects on this site, made a few, then came up with my own:)

Materials:

Wooden plank cut to size of door frame
Heavyweight picture hangers
Heavyweight hanging eyes
Heavyweight string or ribbon
About 40 old records (depending on door size and user error)
Superglue
Dremel, drill, or punch and hammer
An empty door frame that can support a curtain
Protective surface that can be drilled or hammered on

Step 1: Picking a door way

Pick the desired door frame you would like to place your curtain on. I chose the outside frame of my bedroom door since my door closes in the opposite direction of the placement of the curtain.

Perhaps a pair of pliers and a heated nail would work for the holes.

Thats a really good idea

Just a thought...as I have hundreds of old records in rough shape I was making bowls out of some and was amazed to find that most if not all of the scratches disappeared during the heating process in the oven. Soooo, it occurs to me that if you put the record in the oven, just long enough for it to get soft and malleable , pull it out, lay it on a wooden board and use the hole punch then....it would still harden flat but would have the hole in it...and no breaking. Plus it would be all shiny and new again. (the vinyl part anyways). 
Just a thought as I said, I will try it out myself later because I love the idea of this curtain!

Thats a great idea!! (Srry Im just noticing you commented) While its hot, make the holes. Or even heat the hole puncher before putting it into the plastic.

It looks really neat. My roommate has a bunch of records. I'm going to see if she will make something like this. Is it a pain in the butt to walk through?

[pyromonkey]

Thanks :) Not really, its like a beaded curtain kind of. It does hurt if you bump into one of the records unexpectedly though:P

Looks totally sweet! The photos are a bit blurry, but it's still an awesome project.

Looks cool. I did this with those huge bubble things you get in the UPS packages, it looked so weird. Awesome job.

[canida]

Ooh, neat! Did you take pictures?

[GorillazMiko]

Aww man! I forgot. :-( It's not there anymore, my dad made me take it down. But someday, when I get more, pictures will be definitely taken.
