The World’s Top 10 Best Uses of old Vinyl Records
LP’s, EP,s 45′s these are things that todays teenagers will never
understand or know about. But I am sadly old enough to know what they
are, but unlike a lot of people I really don’t miss vinyl records! I
like CD’s, I like being able to download my music and carry literally
thousands of tracks on my Nexus 7, I even like todays music! However,
what are people supposed to do with all those old Val Doonican LP’s they
no longer use? Well maybe this lot will inspire them…

10 – Times are changing, so why shouldn’t time change its self! (source)
What better use of all those ancient LP’s that time has forgotten
than to turn back the clock and make them popular again, by turning them
into clocks! Yeah that was a bit of a mouthful but you get the point.

9 – Vinyl time is dinner time! (source)
I always remember as a child that on lazy Sunday dinner times in the
summer my mum would play an entire LP while we ate dinner! And so for me
the idea of using those outdated record LP’s for place-mats for the
dinner table seems kind of nostalgic.

8 – From in a cover to being the cover! (source)
The idea of turning an LP that was once lovingly kept in a cover to
something that is a cover is one of the best recycling ideas I have
seen! It looks amazing and is sure to be not only a great talking point,
but also maybe a diary for many a happy memory.

7 – Retro desk accessories! (source)
Have all your mates that used to be in that punk band you were in now
moved on and all own their own business? Well what better way to keep
in touch with them than to store all their business cards in this
incredible LP business card holder!

6 – The table top rock?!? (source)
My only regret about this one is that I couldn’t find a better image
of what is otherwise a simple jaw dropping use of Records! But the good
news is that inside the (source) link is a step-by-step guide on how to
make one so maybe someone can make one and give us a better image, but
otherwise just enjoy the general idea of it.

5 – Record Breaking jewelry! (source)
Yes you really are looking at some rather cool jewellery made from
all those old LP’s that no-one wants any more Sure it would take some
skill to make them ourselves, but lucky for us that are not craft
skilled in any way the (source) links goes straight to the website store
that sells loads of them!

4 – Great balls of….records?!?(source)
This incredible sphere made from old vinyl records is one of the most
amazing in this list for sure, apparently it is easy to make because
when heated the Vinyl sticks to the “chicken wire” frame inside of it,
and the best bit of all is that the longer it is outside in the sun the
smoother it will get! Cool eh! (but yes it will eventually melt into
nothing but lets not spoil it)

3 – From Party music to party cakes! (source)
WOW! This is so amazing and so simple to replicate that it verges on
the design of pure genius! Sure to be a great talking point at any party
and an incredible use of old LP’s and 45′s if ever I saw one. Well done
to the maker of this because it is a good one!

2 – Hanging around the discotech, and the ears! (source)
Simple, beautiful and if much like me you can’t be bothered to make
one, we can just click on the source link and it goes to the ETSY shop
that sells them! It always makes me wonder how people come up with these
amazing ideas as all I ever see in an old record!

1 – The rooftop rocks! (source)
I am telling you that in all my searching for this blog post nothing
has come even close to the levels if EPIC WIN that this idea reaches. It
is just right for some many reasons! Apparently it is 100% waterproof,
when it gets real hot the sun will warp them into a single sheet of
vinyl making it even better and no cutting needed because all the nails
that hold them onto the roof go through the middle part where the needle
would go!
