Sale! Midcentury buying CHRISTMAS Placemats (set of four) made from Vintage Vinyl Record Covers

Travel back in time to a midcentury Christmas with this set of four one-of-a-kind placemats, handmade from six vintage LP record album covers of kitschy Christmas music. The listing images present a few ways you can showcase these unique works of "pop art" on the wall or on your table for a visual wow-moment and a guaranteed conversation starter with your guests. If you need more than four placemats, consider checking my inventory and buying two sets of four, as they can coordinate together.

HOW ARE THESE MADE?
I curate and combine six actual vintage album covers by splicing them together to create a fun, puzzle-like visual snapshot that captures a certain musical genre, era, artist, or theme. No two pieces are the same. I use one strip of each album cover on the front of each placemat. Turn them over and you can see the backs of the album covers and read about the artists and tracks. All the album covers are cleaned and trimmed, curated and combined, then glued together and laminated by hand on the front and back for a smooth, glossy, water-resistant surface that is easy to wipe clean. The edges and corners are finished by hand with artist tape and metal corner protectors. The four placemats measure approximately 12" x 18" each.

The six Christmas album covers combined in this set are:
1, Various - The Sounds of Christmas
2. Johnny Kay - Sings Seasons Greetings
3. Domenico Savino Orchestra - Hi-Fi Christmas Party
4. Norman Luboff Choir - Songs of Christmas
5. The Caroleers - Christmas With
6. Johnny Cole and the Robert Evans Chorus - Merry Christmas

* The actual LP discs are not included and are not available for this set.

VINTAGE MATERIALS
These placemats/art pieces are made from the actual cardboard album covers, they are not reproductions! As such, they are vintage materials that have wonderful character and patina showing that they were bought, handled, played, and stored for decades. Some may show signs of ring wear, have marks or the names of previous owners written on them, an occasional cut-out hole, an old price sticker, or a small tear or water spot. That's how you know they are real! I fully laminate them, front and back, so all of these minimal imperfections are protected.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
I wrap the set and place it in an appropriately sized, sturdy cardboard box (see generic image of what the packaging looks like for reference), along with a notecard that offers prompts for making the table setting come to life with your guests, such as creating your own Spotify playlist of the artist/s or creating a quick trivia game. USPS Priority parcel shipping costs within the US are included in the price -- alternate rush shipping methods will incur additional costs. If this is a gift, I can send directly to the recipient and am happy buying to enclose a short handwritten note (message me with details when you place your order).

CUSTOM ORDERS
If you have an idea for a special set similar to this set that is focused on a different artist, genre, theme, or color story for yourself or as a fabulous gift, or you'd like to have a larger quantity, I am happy to explore doing a custom order for you. Send me a message and we can start a discussion. Please allow plenty of time for me to shop, curate, assemble, and ship (i.e., 3 - 4 weeks). Of course, prices for custom orders will vary.
