Before you do that you should check the value of them.

Try to make them into a shape of an instrument like drums or a guitar, i think that would be really cool!!

When I was 15 I used to hang them up on a fishing line as a mobile, also create a wall of vinyl it’ll look cool trust me! and if any are left over create geometric designs like harlequins or circles made out of circles! Your jackets could be collages. To hang them up use putty its only 2 or 3 dollars at craft stores it will not leave marks on your records so you can grow up and sell them, make a million bvucks.

How about covering the ceiling with them instead of the wall? You could create a big spiral coming fron the middle light fixture going out towards the wall, or you could create lines of records across the ceiling.
Or, how about a line of records around the wall – one record tall, lining the wall at about shoulder or eye level… good luck.. there are no rules!

If they are common LPs (do a search on ebay to make sure) and/or the vinyl is not in good condition, you might try cutting out the images from the covers and create a collage. Just glue the cut-outs on newspaper tacked to the wall to hold them together (and remove later on if you have to). Or maybe make a checkerboard pattern on the wall with the LP covers and 12-inch square pieces of carpet. I’ve seen people cut out the labels from the vinyl of LPs & 45’s to make coasters. Just glue some felt on one side.
