Vinyl Record Upcycling.


I used a pack of 5 hooks which I got from Bunnings for about $4.00. However they were the 'no damage' ones with the special tape on the back so I ripped it off and used super glue as a replacement. 




For a while I have wanted to make one of these. Vinyl record bowls can be used for anything. I have decided to put it on my bedside tables to store my sleeping remedies. It gives my bedroom a nice touch. If you would like to make a bowl please follow these intructions:

1. Pick your vinyl up from the Op Shop - usually about $1.00
2. Take all racks out of oven and leave one remaining at the bottom. Preheat to about 175 degrees.
3. Choose a heat proof dish/mug/bowl
4. Once oven is heated, place dish/mug/bowl upside down and align the vinyl on top.
5. Stand watching the vinyl melt - it will take a few minutes
6. Remove from oven - be careful obviously - the vinyl will be malliable and you can twist and bend to however you want it or leave it to cool as is.
