Funky DIY Projects from We Upcycle with Old Music Records

If you’re passionate about all things vintage, music and upcycling then wait -til you see these fabulous ideas from We Upcycle for re-using old records.

We Upcycle is a website dedicated to promoting the idea of upcycling and everyday posts a new guest submission with a creative idea of making something new from something old. What’s even better is that most of the ideas are things that you can replicate so we say, -do try this at home-. >

For some excellent DIY upcycling projects when it comes to those old records, why not give them a makeover as a funky bracelet? The person who made this particular item says, -Simply heat the plate in the oven, cut it and turn it over a matching round shape and you’re ready to go–

Sounds pretty easy, hey? While we acknowledge it may not come out just right the first time, we stand by the motto that practice makes perfect – so keep trying.

Using a similar technique, you can also create funky fruit bowls with your old records – Gerti says, -I place the record on a glass bowl and put it in the oven. After a little while the records gets soft and when it curves around the bowl I let it cool.-

Of course, these are just a few ideas to get you started, but once you get the gist of it, why not experiment and make your own upcycled record creations?? These would make wonderful additions to your home, but even more than that, they would make wonderfully unique and personalised gifts.
