Different Colors and Things You Can Do To Vinyl

Glitters and Gold Dust

Adding sparkle and shine is easy, and you can even use different colors to create unique patterns and shapes that’ll leave a lasting impression.

Tapes

Tapes give your vinyl records an even more unique look. Experimenting with various tape colors and patterns can give your vinyl record an incomparable appearance that stands out from the crowd.

Blood

Though it may seem like an odd choice, blood is actually a great way to add visual flair to your custom vinyl record. You can use a special dye, resulting in a unique and unexpected design that will certainly turn heads.

Etched Images

Adding images to your vinyl record is an easy way to create a one of a kind look. Etching is the process of permanently adding an image or design onto the record’s surface. This method can be used to add pictures, logos, or any other type of design you’d like.

Leaves

Adding dried leaves to your custom vinyl record is a great way of adding some organic touches to your design. This is an easy way to create unique visuals that are sure to stand out. Leaves can also be painted in different colors or with various patterns before placing them into the vinyl.

Dried Flowers

For a more unique touch, you can also include dried flowers! However, be aware that their colors may change when placed in a vinyl record or be affected by the heat of the pressing machine. If you’re looking for something more colorful, you can opt to use artificial flowers.
