Vinyl Record Bowl

RE: Vinyl Record Bowl Post By Sabrina (Guest Post) (06/30/2008) 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 Report Spam or Abuse RE: Vinyl Record Bowl Post By Taz (Guest Post) (06/10/2008) How does one paint vinyl? What paint can be used? Does it need to be primed first? Thanks Report Spam or Abuse RE: Vinyl Record Bowl Post By Paramor (Guest Post) (05/20/2008) 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Vinyl Record Bowl Post By DOT zafra (Guest Post) (04/16/2008) 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 Report Spam or Abuse RE: Vinyl Record Bowl Post By Zach (Guest Post) (12/10/2007) Would it be possible to make more art from vinyl?

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.

(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! Julie (UK) Report Spam or Abuse
