Answer 1

First, get 2 old LP records (the sides).
Cut off the top and bottom edges to form the straight edges shown in photo.
Go to:

Find a store near you from the store locator.
Get a piece of leather to use as the gusset between the 2 records. Cut it wide enough to fold up the edges behind the LPs.
Drill holes around the edge of the LPs.
Punch holes in the leather to align with the holes in the LPs.
Use these to connect the LPs and leather gusset together:

Go to an auto parts store and buy a small bottle of BLUE loctite. Put a small drop on the threads before screwing them together.
Get a leather strap and needed hardware (buckle for adjusting length, D-rings for attaching, etc [Tandy Leather]), attach shoulder strap.

Answer 2

2 albums
drill
brads
leather & leather hole punch
leather cutters

drill the holes around the albums. drill both at the same time by clamping them together so they won't slip, cut the leather, punch the holes in the leather, place brads in holes and leather to hold into place to form the shape.
