For quite a while, I've had some old records that I had intended to make into bowls. Well, I finally did the project, but couldn't find the original tutorial that I had seen way back when. When I went to do this the other day, I found two different tutorials online, using two different methods. I mostly used the baking method but with some of the shaping aspects of the boiling water method. Which is, to shape my first bowl (first two pictures) I pressed the record between two mixing bowls. I also used a sauce pan to shape my second bowl (third picture), so it would turn out more like a tray style bowl.
I like how they turned out. I'm actually using the first bowl to hold fruit in my kitchen, and the second on a side table to hold snacks. The links to find out how to do it are at the bottom.
