Recycled Vinyl Record Bowl



by Jane Lake

If you don't have an old record collection, you can buy records very reasonably at thrift stores and yard sales.

These recycled record bowls make wonderful containers for potpourri or you can line them with a doily and use them at parties to serve chips and crackers.

Recycled Record Bowl


Supplies:

  • old vinyl record album
  • large ovenproof bowl
  • oven
  • oven gloves

    Vinyl Record Bowl


    Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.

    2. Place the record on top of a large bowl turned upside down and carefully place in the oven.

    3. Heat for about five minutes, or until record begins to soften and melt. Wearing oven gloves, quickly remove from the oven. Flip the bowl the right way up and press the record into it so that it takes on the bowl shape. You'll find that the sides will curl in a fluted design, similar to the bowl in our picture.

    5. While the record is hot and pliable, you can adjust the shape to your liking. If necessary, reheat for a short time to make adjustments.
