Retro Music
There are three options here, but you can go with the two that speak the most to your personalities.
For the Record:
- Cut out 2 large cardboard circles from a box. Cover both sides of circles with black spray paint and let dry completely.
- While circles are drying, print out 2 copies of our record label template.
- Cut out labels and glue 1 to the center of each black cardboard circle.
- To create shoulder and chest straps, measure length needed; for each strap, place 2 strips of black duct tape, sticky sides together.
- Tape straps to cardboard on front and back so costume will slip easily over wearer’s head. Use a paint pen to draw on record grooves.
For the Mix Tape:
- Cut 2 large rectangles from the cardboard box.
- Spray paint both sides of the circles with teal spray paint.
- While this dries, print out 2 copies of our cassette label template.
- Cut out the label and glue it to the center of the cardboard rectangles.
- Using a black permanent maker, follow the template provided to add the cassette shapes and outlines.
- Use the directions above (in the record instructions) to create shoulder and chest straps.
- Tape to the cardboard front and back so you can easily slip it over your head.
For the Disco Ball:
- Cut 2 large circles from the cardboard box.
- Spray paint both sides of the circles with silver spray paint and let dry completely.
- While this dries, cut out 1" x 2" foil rectangles.
- Tear 1/2" wide strips of duct tape and place foil rectangles on sticky side so the majority of the foil hangs off (so it looks like a banner of flags).
- Starting at the bottom, stick the tape/foil banner across the silver cardboard circle so the layer above overlaps the layer below. This will create a tiled effect.
- Trim or fold back the tape around the edge of the circle to maintain the round "disco ball" shape.
- Complete 2 circles for the front and back.
- Use the directions above (in the record instructions) to create shoulder and chest straps.
- Tape to the cardboard front and back so you can easily slip it over your head.
