There are millions of vinyl records in the world. Some are classics but some are not so good. They also tend to get warped and scratched. Watch this episode of Oliart before you throw away an old, worn out record. You can make it into a fun serving bowl or platter.
NOTE: Good ventilation and parental assistance is advised for this project.
NOTE: If your record cools before you’ve finished forming it, don’t worry, just place it back in the oven for another minute or so (until it warms to a pliable state) and continue shaping it.

Remove after 1-2 minutes, or when the sides of the record begin to droop slightly. |
