I can't resist buying albums for their cover art ... if they're under $1. I have some framed but also wanted to enjoy them a little more so I made these 2 part boxes (like the ones puzzles come in). I lightly scored the front of the album with an exacto knife to prevent cracking. I used the back of the album for the bottom of the box and sized it 1/4" smaller to fit inside. Clothespins kept the sides in place while the glue dried.
