Colored Pencils are great to add colors, lines, designs, patterns, etc. to one side of your record, then do the molding process

bwahahaha! My mom is impossible to buy for, and when she had all her old stuff out to donate to a charity yard sale, we found a bunch of old crummy records. I asked her if I could have them and she thought I was nuts! I told her surely there was a cute craft i could make out of them, they are just so cool. She really thought I had lost it, and now, she's getting one of her records back for Christmas!
I agree with Samantha, I think I love you guys!

You can just use spray paint to paint it. I make stencils and spray paint the images on the record with out any primer.

Great idea but be careful. I was making some of these and the "smell" was getting to me. Made me throw up.

I remember my parents and their hippy friends making these when I was a child in the 60s! Now I can make them. Cracked marbles are fun too. I carry them in coat pockets and when I see someone having a bad day, I take a couple out and ask them "did you loose these?"! haha

How does one paint vinyl? What paint can be used? Does it need to be primed first? Thanks

I made these for centerpieces at my wedding this spring.
We bought random crumby records from second hand stores and stuck on fake labels from 50s and rockabilly bands. Then we filled them with flowers and glass pebbles.
It was cute with the rest of the 50s theme.

I MADE MY FIRST BOWL YESTERDAY. I HAD TRIED WARPING ONE IN HOT WATER BUT, IT TURNED OUT UGLY PLUS, THE LABEL CAME OFF. SO I CENTERED ONE ON A VERY SMALL BOWL ON A COOKIE SHEET AT 200 DEGREES FOR NO MORE THAT A MINUTE. IT MADE A PERFECT FLUTED EDGED BOWL. I DIDN'T HAVE TO SHAPE IT WITH MY HANDS AT ALL. I AM PAINTING IT. I THINK THESE WOULD MAKE SUPER WALL DECORATIONS, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR MUSIC ROOM AND DEN. HAVEN'T FINISHED PAINTING IT. d t z a f r a @ yahoo . com remove spaces

Would it be possible to make more art from vinyl? Like Possibly a rose?

CD's and a heat gun work too and you can do it outside to avoid fumes

RE: Vinyl Record Bowl
this is a great idea just to do with the kids on a day they are home from school early or just on a rainy day. I did this craft for my daughters 11th birthday party and all the kids loved the idea.To make it just a little more fun I went to my local craft supply store and got alot of great little objects to decorate the bowls with!! I just love this craft

RE: Vinyl Record Bowl
You can use various bowls and pans to get different shapes. Using a loaf pan results in a rather groovy rectangular shape, deeper bowls give you a more shallow record while narrow bowls give you a tighter bowl.
Experimentation yields rather interesting results. Open the kitchen window, though. The fumes can be rather noxious sometimes.

Crazy Fruit Bowl from Record Albums
Apparently this was a craze in the 1970's but I discovered it on a fabulous website: http://www.thriftdeluxe.com
Simple yet cool! (I think)
Put an old vinyl record on a very low heat in the oven for a couple of minutes. The vinyl will melt and you can shape the record into a shallow bowl. (be careful!)
Coloured vinyl looks brilliant - and what a great use for those records we've all got lying around!
