A weekly art/craft project by Ashlin, Sarah or Both. We wanted to challenge ourselves to be creative and try to expand our skills. We'd love to have some feedback and suggestions for improvement, so please leave a comment when you visit. Thanks! A few posts will be Tom's handy work, but Ashlin or I will be writing it up for him as he doesn't like to write.

Vinyl Album Mail Racks.
I decided to make some mail holding racks using the albums.
I took some vinyl records (the larger size) and tried to melt them in a pot of water...I didn't have a large enough pan, so this did not work very well.
I then turned the oven to 350' and put a bowl in it. I left the door open and half the record out of the oven as I wanted to melt only part of the album. As soon as it started to melt, I grabbed it out and bent it over a board.
The next step was to drill a hole in it for hanging purposes. Finally, I added stickers to label it mail. (I tried painting first, but the paint ran along the grooves and it was a mess.)
I made 6 of them so far.
