My exciting craft for today has been melting records, yep melting old records in the oven and turning them into bowls. They turned out really great! The ones with the bright colours in the middle look the best. see pics of the process below,
Place the record on top of a bowl
after a few minutes in the oven
mold into shape
leave to cool

So making myself one of these bad boys!
They are awesome Bron, I want to make some.
Love these! So cool!
These are amazing! Could you tell me what oven temperature you used and how long you kept them in the oven? I'd like to make some for my family for Easter. Thanks.

i cant really remember the temp? prob 180, pre heat the oven, put it in for literally 1 minute and then quickly pull it out and mould it with your hands. just use a tea towel over your hands (its not that hot to touch). once it is out of the oven it drys very quickly when it hits the cool air so you need to be quick to get it in the shape you want (its also hard to re-melt it back if you make a mistake) have fun!
What a great idea! I have a few old records I have left in the sun for to long that i just couldn't throw out. Now i can use them! loving your blog.
