14 Rad Projects Using Vinyl

natthefatrat Natalie |

Sometimes I feel like vinyl gets a bad rap. Don’t you think so? I think so. Sometimes vinyl projects are downright cheesy, and why should they have to be? Vinyl is rad! After all, vinyl is the medium of Hendrix! Morrison! And the Beatles!

Vinyl crafts aren’t all just inspirational messages stuck to living room walls. There’s a whole host of other really fun projects you can do using this waterproof fabric. I’ve collected a few after the jump.
