DIY Reversible Record Bowls

Melted Vinyl

For Christmas I made my nephew some record bowls.

Want to try it?

Just put each record in the oven (by itself) on top of a tin can.

After about 10 minutes of 200°, pull the warmed record out of the oven and use your hands to mold it into shape. It'd be nice to have about 3 hands for this step, but you make do.

I made A LOT of bowls, so I came up with the idea to make them reversible.

Of course all you do in order to achieve this, is just glue them together using the super strong glue of your choice. Careful that you don't get any ooze through the hole of the record.

I picked out two of the best ones and wrapped them up...

because who needs THIS many record bowls?

And because he's 16 and probably doesn't need ANY bowls, we gave him a little something extra...

Good job on the bowls - Joseph really liked them! You know the 'family' has taken over some of Joseph's past hippi-type gifts (black light, peace sign that goes with the black light, the doorway beads and the disco light...we used all of those items for our big Halloween party (I turned the garage into a disco room). Fun! Fun! Fun! But FOR REAL, the bowls will go great with his drum table (which he still uses).

I really like this idea, sister. They would make the perfect candy dish or a pick holder in a music space. Good job!
