Upcycled records into bookends ![]() * This post may contain affiliate links Since we aquired an old record console we have been on the hunt for some great records. In our search, we've also gotten many old records from family and friends, many of them that were scratched and didn't play. I just couldn't throw them out so I had to repurpose them! And this was perfect. I made book ends to keep all the good records together! What you'll need: 2 records bookends loaf pan at least 2.5" deep pot for boiling water E6000 glue Start by boiling a pot of water. I just filled up a pot of water and didn't measure, but you'll want more than enough water to completely fill up your loaf pan. Place your loaf pan ![]() Take your record out of the water and mold it into place on and around your book end by bending the bottom of the record to completely cover the bookend. I laid my bookend against the edge of my table so that I could get a good grip on it while it cooled. Make sure that enough of your record gets dipped into the water so that you have enough of the record soft enough to mold. If you mess up and it cools into the wrong position, no problem. Just re dip the record into the hot water and start over. ![]() ![]() I wanted my record to have some more dimension to it, so I took the time by dipped other sides of the record into the water to give it more of a wavy appearance.
