This week, Too Cute Tuesday is getting hot. That's right: this week's craft involves an oven! And it involves my very small apartment which means things got toasty.
No doubt you have old records lying around from back in the day but if you don't, that's what eBay is for.
Materials:
Bowls (for shaping)
Oven safe container
Oven
Record
Oven mits
1. Have your friends over for dinner and attempt to bake bread as a way to preheat the oven.
2. Realize that you still suck at baking bread but have friends who are too nice to harrass you about it.
3. Put the record on top of the oven safe container. It will take only a few moments for the record to begin to warp (have droopy sides). Oven temp for this: Between 250 and 350 degrees F.
4. Take the record out of the oven and put it in a bowl to shape. Ideally have nesting bowls so you can put the record in one and put a slightly smaller bowl inside the record. Hold the bowls in place while the record cools again.
5. Do this as many times as necessary to get your desired product. Let the record cool into the final shape.
Some ideas for you to make from melted records:
Trays, napkin holders, envelopes, bowls
Watch out not to burn your fingers!
Aren't you crafty?

I love this idea! And I’m personally glad to hear I’m not the only one who still can’t master bread… did you know there are different types of yeast?! Way to make it complicated 😉
very clever! I have a whole pile of records that came out of an overhaul of the music room last year. somehow the high school kids intercepted them on the way to the dump (never leave things in the hallway . . . ) and the records were the subject of several attempted pranks. . . which mostly involved being stuffed into the lockers of unsuspecting classmates.
anyway, I have a box in my classroom. perhaps I should make the seniors some going away presents?
Oh No! Records aren’t coming back? They’ve got the way of the 8 track? My ‘vintage’ Thriller album is now ready to be baked. That is a tremendous let down to 13 year old I used to be. But alas the “King of Pop” can hold my bills in place!
