DIY Record Bowl

DIY Record Bowl
My grandmother saw some record bowls when we were at the Treasure Island flea market. (pictures of the day to follow soon) Being a DIYer and having a huge box of old records, I told her that I would make her some. 

To start you need to pick out a record.
I went out to the barn and pulled out this record.




Turn on the oven to 350 degree. As you are waiting for the oven to warm up pull out the rest of the items that you are going to need, cookie sheet, a bowl that can go in the oven (pyrex is what I used), oven mitts and  a clean space on the counter. 
Lay the record evenly over the bowl. 





Once the oven is warmed carefully place the cookie sheet in the oven. 
It doesnt take very long for the vinyl to soften up. See how it drapes over the bowl.




Carefully remove the cookie sheet. You can start molding into shape while on the bowl. (make sure you are using oven mitts, IT'S HOT!) Then you can take off the bowl. Set it on the counter and as it cools you can keep molding it. If it is no longer bending put back in the oven for a few seconds then take out and keep reshaping. 





Here is the finally product. Now all it needs is some chips, popcorn, etc. Or set next to the door for knickknacks.




Now what to do with the record sleeve.

Vatican City then headed home

As I finish up sharing my trip to Europe, I have started making plans to go to Australia.  Its hard to believe that it has been a year already since my last adventure. I must say a great way of finish up this amazing trip is going to the Vatican . My Aunt and I had purchased our tickets for the museum a head of time to avoid the lines. Highly recommend do this. As we waited for out time to enter the museum, we decided to walk around a bit. We decided to go in to Vatican City. We noticed that there were large crowds forming. Turns out that on Wednesdays that Pope Francis has a papal audience and gives mass . . We decided that you cant come to Vatican City and not see the Pope if he is having mass. There was a few hours before it stat, so we went to the museum. The last supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci The tombs were just fantastic to see, such great detail, telling a story. I snuck of picture of the Sistine Cha...
