How to Decorate a Turntable

Turntables have a smooth surface on their sides that is ideal for decorating.

Decorating a turntable provides the opportunity to make a statement about who you are as an individual, and also indicates your musical preferences. Some of the most affordable ways to decorate a turntable are to collect stray stickers, postcards and fliers that are often available at record or book stores.

Things You'll Need

• Electrical or masking tape
• Stickers
• Fliers
• Postcards

Instructions

1. Select a theme to focus on. Depending on how much money you're willing to spend on decorating, you can choose essentially any motif -- such as a landscape, particular band, solo artist or instrument -- and run with it.

2. Use masking or electrical tape to attach any paper materials to the turntable. Glue is best avoided in case you eventually change your mind and want to remove the decorations.

3. To give the turntable a sleek, clean look, ensure that every inch of free space of the instrument is covered.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're a DJ, creating a distinct look for your turntable will help you stand apart from local competition.
