I have been racking my brain for months on how to create a fun, unique fruit bowl. I knew it couldn't be glass because Connor is always reaching for fruit. I also knew I didn't want to spend more than $10 because I'm cheap!
Can you guess what it's made out of?
Did anyone guess a vinyl record?
After looking around for inspiration, I decided to combine two ideas that I came across: a vinyl record bowl and a rope bowl.This is all you need:
- a vinyl record
- jute rope
- glue gun and glue sticks
Remove from oven. Turn the bowl over and place record inside bowl. Place back in oven for about 5 minutes.
Take out and push record inside of the bowl. Let cool and then remove from bowl.
This bowl cost around $5.00 to make. The vinyl record was $1.00 from a local thrift store. The rope was around $3.00 and I needed glue sticks that I got for $1.00.
Can't beat that price!! So what do you think? My favorite part is that it isn't perfectly round and each bowl would be different.
I hope this inspires you to make your own bowl using a vinyl record and jute rope.
Oh. Em Ge. What a great idea! It came out great, how creative! And I love your name. :)

I've been wanting to make one of these for awhile but I was unsure how to make it. Thanks for the directions.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I never in a million years would have guessed that your end result is made out of a record. I've seen the record bowls, but I love how you used the twine. It looks absolutely fantastic!
