Record Bowl Functional Art


Record bowls make beautiful art that's both nice to look at and fun to use. If you don't any LPs at home, scour your thrift store for $1 bargain LPs (33rpm).
Level: Easy
Total Time: 20 minutes
Supplies:
1LP
Oven
Metal Bowl
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
Remove the from its sleeve and lay it over an overturned metal bowl.
Place the bowl and LP into the oven and wait 5 minutes.
Check the oven to ensure the LP has melted and molded itself onto the metal bowl.
Remove bowl and LP from the oven.
Quickly peel the LP off the bowl ( you may want to use mitts in case it is too hot to handle.)
Working quickly, mold the edges of the bowl into various scalloped shapes.
Allow to cool and set.
Enjoy!
