If you enjoyed making the Repurposed 45 Record Advent Calendar, here are a few more Christmas craft ideas to continue the holiday crafting fun:

1. Vinyl Record Christmas Ornaments: Take your love for repurposing vinyl records to the next level by creating unique Christmas ornaments. With some paint, ribbon, and creativity, you can transform old records into festive ornaments to adorn your tree. You can paint on some holiday designs, add a touch of glitter, or even decoupage holiday images onto the records for a personal touch.

2. Music Sheet Wreath: Embrace your love for music with a DIY music sheet wreath. You can find old sheet music at thrift stores or print out your favorite Christmas carols online. Cut the sheet music into strips and glue them onto a foam wreath form. Add some festive embellishments like bows, ornaments, or mini instruments to complete the look.

3. CD Mosaic Coasters: If you have a stash of old CDs lying around, consider repurposing them into mosaic coasters. Break the CDs into small pieces and arrange them in a mosaic pattern on plain ceramic tiles. Seal the design with a coat of resin for a glossy finish. These coasters make a great gift or addition to your holiday decor.
