Vinyl Lp Bowl

Hi ya. I'm gonna share a very kool very easy project with ya'll today.
Vinyl Lp Record Bowl

Lets check the supply list
  1. Vinyl Lp (I got mine from the thrift store)
  2. A metal bowl or cake pan
  3. A cookie sheet
  4. An oven
  5. An adorable lil helper.


Now lets make our Rockin Bowl.
Grab your Lp and have your super cute helper pull it out of the sleeve.


 
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees

Place your metal bowl upside down on a cookie sheet.Then lay your Lp on top of the bowl.
Now place it in the oven. Make sure you keep it at 200 degrees and no higher!!Now wait ..................................




While waiting explain to your helper that we dont have a record player and the LP is not getting ruined. Cameron was VERY upset that I was "melting" a perfectly good record. haha. He was loving it when it was done so he forgave me =)

This is what it looked like after 5 min in the oven. I left it in there for about 10 min total.
Now Pull it out of the oven and let it cool while still on the bowl. I waited 10 min and it was Perfectly cool.
It will still have a hole in the bottom so be aware of that when considering what to put in it. You can wash it with soapy water but  DO NOT put in the dishwasher or microwave.
I put a smaller bowl down in it to hold my Chip dip.
What do ya think??
   Thanks for checkin out my post.

Birds Nest Wreaths

This is just a quickie and self explanatory so I don't feel too bad that I forgot to take tutorial pics. Dang it tho... Anyway...My aunt was tossing out some old country looking grapevine wreaths with outdated silk flowers and ribbon with fruit. Yes, they were hideous, which is surprising because she is a stylish woman , so I wonder why she even had these, haha... Oh well, I took off all the "decorations" until I had naked wreaths. Then I spray painted them, two white and one black.meanwhile while they were drying I pulled out my trusty bestie.. Yea Mr. Cricut. I cut out some birds on twigs, a lovely chandelier and a Giant letter P( our last name is Pike). After the wreaths dried I hung them with Ribbon and colorful giant tacks. (spray painted tacks :) ). Then I placed the vinyl infide to my liking and added a few hot glued rhinestones for some bling. I made sure only to let glue touch the vinyl with a low temp glue gun so I didn't harm my walls. Ta Da.. Junky to jazzy in under a day.
