Being a part of “The Blogger Connection” and “TBC Crafter’s Hop” (#TBCcrafters)Â is a great blessing. Â We all get to share our ideas and crafting tips together in a big group of great friends. Â Here’s my craft for today.
Those of us who have old records laying around or are able to find some at yard sales for a quarter can make this great bowl to use during the holidays or on game days – either way, it’s a great way to up-cycle an old item.
Old Record Bowl
1.  Start by heating your oven to 200°.
2. Â Place the bowl upside down in the middle of your cookie sheet.
3. Â Now place the record directly on top of the bowl.
4. Â Carefully place your structure inside your oven and allow to heat for eight minutes.
5. Â Carefully remove the record and bowl from the oven (they will be hot).
6. Â Place the record inside the bowl. This will allow your record to take shape a little better. Â You can also manipulate the records shape with your hands to add more ripples to the vinyl.
** You only have about a minute until the vinyl has cooled and will not shape. If you are not pleased with the out come you can place it back inside the oven for a few more minutes to reheat it to give you more time to continue to form it.

I have a bunch of old records. This would be an awesome gift for someone with a media room!
That is awesome.
Very creative
I think this is the COOLEST thing EVER! I see old albums at The Salvation Army and Goodwill all the time. I’m trying this one for sure!! Thanks 🙂
I think that is just about the most creative thing I’ve ever seen! It’s a much better use of old vinyl than tacking them up on a wall. LOL
I need to try this. I think I have some old albums somewhere…
Such a great idea to get rid of that Milli Vanilla album!

Rachee – that is PRICELESS!! ha/ha/ha
Just make sure you guys aren’t melting the ones that are worth money!!! :o)
I’ve seen this craft before, but never knew how it was done! Very cool… Now I have to find records!
What a cool idea! I need to see if I can find my old records now!
I love this and will be doing it for xmas gifts!!!
What a great idea. . Never would have thought of this one on my own. Now I am going to be on the look out for records 🙂
