Description

The listing, DIY own Vinyl Record Bowl has ended.


7" metal heat safe bowl
cookie sheet
vinyl record
oven

Preheat oven to around 185 degrees for ten minutes (set the timer!). Place large metal bowl on cookie sheet open side down. Place cookie sheet with bowl on it in the oven for about four minutes to warm it up and get it ready for your record.
Take your record, with the side you want on the INSIDE of your bowl facing down, and place it on top of the over-turned bowl in the oven.
The sizes of your bowls depend on the look you're going for. If you want a more upright bowl that resembles a slightly bucket-ish shape then use a smaller bowl with slightly upright sides (for the shaping bowl). If you want a more low-slung, fruit bowl style bowl then use a bowl with more relaxed, wider sides.
Bake the record in the oven like that until you see it start drooping over your bowl and getting pliable. Every vinyl record bowl + oven combination will take different amounts of time. Check it every minute or so by pulling it out and gauging the flexibility of it.
It's okay if it's not flexible enough the first time you take it out of the oven! just put it back in for a little longer.
When your record seems pliable enough to shape, take it out of the oven and place it right side up inside your smaller bowl. Press it down with your fingers in the bowl and shape it.
Let your record cool for a minute or so and then pull it out of the bowl and admire it! You now have a vinyl record bowl. If you plan to serve food in this bowl, then line it with plastic wrap, paper or another bowl first.
If your record is trying to stick to your melting bowl, then just spray a little Pam or similar on the bottom of the bowl before baking them.
