Vinyl Record Bookends

Yet another use for retired vinyls...

Bookends are extremely practical at times, but what a waste to buy them!

One of mine turned out a little wavy. I guess I kept it in the boiling water for too long, but I have also noticed that different records sometimes react differently to the heat (as if a variation in quality).
Anyway it just adds to the charm!

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Wooden Spatula
  • Pot of boiling water
  • 2 Vinyl Records (single size)

Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Heat the water to boiling temperature.

  2. 2

    Dip half of the record in boiling water.

    Only keep it in the water for a short moment or it will get messy.

  3. 3

    Hurry! Using a wooden spatula bend the record on a straight surface.

  4. 4

    If it doesn't turn out the way you would like it you can put it back in the water or even use the stove to heat it up again!
