sgoodcore Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Anyone know where I can find some furniture specifically bowls made out of old vinyl? My fiance and I want to use them for centerpieces at our wedding if we can find the right stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmorgan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 why not get a bunch of 25cent records and make them yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 why not get a bunch of 25cent records and make them yourself? Its an option for sure but then it involves heat guns and other such work. I'm lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I misunderstood the use of the word 'bowls.' While a vinyl smoking device would be kinda cool, probably very toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisdan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 why not get a bunch of 25cent records and make them yourself? there it is. definitely do that. for some reason, the people who make bowls from vinyl think they are worth at least $10 bucks each.

tanukichu Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yeah, it's pretty easy and you don't need a heat gun, just an oven, some records and some things to shape it with really: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Bowls-out-of-Vinyl-Records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoyadrian Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 just search "record bowls" on google, then click under shopping. Seems like they'll set you back 25 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fueledbymike Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 nope just put them in the oven over a regular bowl and they turn out great!! put them in for 1 or 2 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qskapunk Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 you'll definitely spend way too much money if you buy them, just make them yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgoodcore Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 i think im gonna do this tomorrow in prep for my party...thanks!but yeah, this seems easy enough...sam, how many do ya need? I think we're going to have between 10-15 tables. Probably fill the bowls with candy or something. Sounds like I'll be doing this myself. I'm thinking some old 12" records to get a record with the right size. Any ideas on sealing the hole in the record? Maybe some excess wax while it in the oven?

momentumlost Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 so i didnt have my kitchen well ventilated...it was over before you smell anything anyways. i used a 7"....and it came out pretty good...once my camera is charged i'll post also this site has a better plan for doing this: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf895928.tip.html i dont know what i'll use this for as a 7" is way to shallow for anything....maybe i'll give it to my roommate to use as an ashtray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 EPOXY! that should fill the hole and dry clear... Good call! I'm looking for something to work as a candy dish so I'm thinking wide and shallow would be as good as anything. Its just so people have stuff to munch on while they wait for dinner.

machiel Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think I'm going to try this too, is it better to do it with a 7" or 12"? Or is it just the size you like to have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 make sure your kitchen is WELL VENTILATED and all windows opened when you do this Lots of smoke? No but it really sticks and there are some "funny fumes" I just melted mine for about a minute and I got really dizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
