Using a bit of resourcefulness, you could quickly find use for old floppy disk storage as well as vinyl records. Regarding vinyl records, you may make them into quirky, one-of-a kind candleholders. Vinyl record candle holders will surely be a statement piece in any room and could emphasize tables, shelves and also desks. This kind of task is fairly simple to create and needs only some basic components which might be easily obtainable at home. Listed below are the methods you could follow to build vinyl record candleholders:
Get ready the materials for the job
To build special candleholders from vinyl records, you may, obviously, desire old vinyl records. These can be purchased at vintage shops or even online. A cheaper option will be to look in your attic or basement and find out if you’ll find any used records. Other materials you should have are candles, an apple, five wine corks about similar size as the candles, an oven and a baking sheet.
Preheat the oven and set up the corks over the baking sheet
The oven should be pre-heated to 200 degrees Farenheit. Lay the corks in a spherical structure on the baking sheet. Be sure that each one of the five corks are equal distance from one another.
Put the record on the corks
After positioning the corks, position the vinyl record on top of it. Leave approximately one inch allowance in between the edge of the record and also the corks. The corks will be utilized as the mold which the record can melt on, building indentations where candles could later be put.
Place the baking sheet into the oven
Put the baking sheet to the oven properly so the record and cork won’t move. Bake for around five minutes or if you see that the record has efficiently melted onto the corks.
Put an apple to the central part of the record
After cooking, take the sheet from the oven. You can put apple on the core of the record. The corks may move a little as the apple weighs on the middle of the record. Properly fix the positions of the corks and put the baking sheet into the oven again for one more 3-5 minutes.
Take off the baking sheet and shape the record when it’s cooled
Take away the baking sheet once again and let the record to cool down for about fifteen seconds or till it’s not very hot to be handled. You will notice that it’s very malleable. Form the corners of the record into your preferred design and push it against the cork to tighten it. Hold on an extra one minute for the record to completely cool.
Take away the apple and also reshape the record if you want
Now you may take off the apple and move the vinyl record over. In case you are not yet pleased with the shape, you may place the record to the oven once more and mold it to your preferred form.
Stick the candles into the candleholder
Drip some warm wax into the candleholder indentations to provide support to the candle lights you can now insert.
You now have a vinyl record candleholder that you can use as whimsical décor for your home or give away as a unique homemade gift.
