I’ve been thinking a lot about old vinyl records recently because of Renee’s great idea of using them as a canvas for art and because of Kimberly’s suggestion to poke holes in one to hold earrings - I think I’m going to combine the two ideas to make a cool jewellery display unit.
Anyway, thinking about these things reminded me of Jeff Davis’ fab creations from old vinyl. Under the Vinylux brand, he makes a range of cool household items - bowls, snack trays, picture frames - and other things like cuffs (below left) and notebooks.
I especially like the picture frame (below right) - because the record is re-used in two ways: the outside of the record becomes the frame and the inside bit is used as a coaster.

I love these recycled records. I noticed these are sold in Liberty City, Texas which is just a stone’s throw from me. I must check them out!
But now I’m thinking. I don’t know about the technical aspects but why couldn’t old CD’s be used for coasters or small bowls?
