Melted Record Fountain

A Year Ago!!!

It's hard to believe that I posted my How to Make a Fountain From Old Records video on YouTube a year ago. In that time, it's had over 8,500 hits and spawned an e-book Get Those Old Records Off the Shelf with Cheryl Ball featuring a ton of ideas for using old records including how to make a record bowl, room divider, serving trays, birdfeeder, clock, cake stand, jewelry, tablesetting, mail sorter and soooo much more!

Get Those Old Records Off the Shelf!

Cheryl Ball and I got his fabulous idea a while back about using our 'retro' fabrics and craft products we'd collected over the years. We combined them with things from our youth and transformed them into something functional and different – creating a whole new look for old. That's when Still Crafty After 50 came to be.


Well, we got this gig to appear on our local tv station and I came up with the idea to make a fountain from melted records. It was a hit! We have since recorded a how-to video entitled How to Create a Record Fountain and it has over 7,000 hits on YouTube. Check out the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqS_kM2gBlc

So, we thought, why not make other things from records. And our new ebook was born - Get Those Old Records Off the Shelf. This ebook lets you get those old records off the shelf...out of grandma's attic, out of storage, wherever they are and take a spin on creativity!

Records only take a couple of minutes to melt in an oven and can be shaped easily into fantastic projects.
