Vinyl Repurposed - Stand

Let the projects begin! Interior decor personalized by the owner is the perfect color and fit...


The inspiration is a dessert stand:

First: Gather the necessary pieces:
two vinyl records
metal parts

Easy right?! Well the records were passed down from Samuel Denton who has a love for music so there were quite a few to pick from. Elton John had a great picture and Willie Nelson seemed fitting.

The metal parts were not so simple. I searched all of the craft stores and even tried to make it work with random parts that I thought might fit together from Home Depot. So plan B was in effect, find a cheap dessert stand and use those pieces and that is exactly what we did. At Home Goods there was one dessert stand to choose from which had cute cupcakes with faces, no need to say but those plates were trashed.

Next: Replace the bottom plate with a record. Then do the same with the top, but then the records would be the same size so it seems like they must have used a 45 vinyl instead (but that has a wider opening so there was a dilemma).
Solution: Heat the oven to 200 degrees to get the record pliable and for the five seconds that it is hot cut the record with scissors and precision. This goes on for a while, but eventually it was even and we were able to attach it to the top.

Finally: Turn off the oven and place desserts on stand.

The inspiration is action:
