I dug out my very old record player today and decided to play some of my ancient vinyls that I have been storing for 30 plus years. I was expecting to hear the sweet sound of a vinyl record spinning on a turntable playing the music that I love, but all I heard was scratches and skips.
Since I hate to throw anything away, I decided to go to Pinterest and see what everyone was making with their old vinyl records. I can’t believe how many ideas I found, and now I have the bug. I thought I would share a few of the things I made this morning….
Vinyl bowl using this tutorial, I also painted a chipped martini glass black and added it as a base…
Record Album Mail Organizer using this tutorial…
Vinyl Bracelet using this tutorial…
I made other things also, but I need to explore drilling holes and polishing edges on vinyl first, my fingers are crossed that they don’t break.
Have you ever made anything from old records?

About Liz
I am a very casual woman, I live in sloppy shoes, wear jeans and loose fitting clothing almost every day. I work from home and occasionally visit clients at their homes. I share my home with a stubborn old cat named Peanut, an adorable little rescue puppy named Abigail and my better half Don.
I love my home, but better yet, I love what I have done around my home. I love to build things with wood, take someones throw aways and repurpose it into something I love. Finding furniture on the roadside is my biggest addiction, a little chalk paint and new knobs, win win!
My style is hard to explain, early recycle? lol, shabby country, shabby chic, early roadside? I love making STUFF, all stuff 🙂 I love the feeling of doing things myself. Want to know anything else? Feel free to ask… Sincerely, Liz

Wow . . . what a fun and busy day you’ve had!!! I love them all! 🙂
I love them all but especially like the mail organizers
Those are cool! I have been tempted but have not tried anything yet. Love the bracelet!
I have to try the bracelet! That is so cool!
I’ve never personally made anything, but saw a crafter at a sale a couple of weeks ago who had made bowls in three different sizes. I love the look of the martini glass – takes it to another level.
