Get Up Edina!

STEP ONE: Gather materials: Old record you'll never ever listen to, cookie sheet, a large bowl, a small bowl, and an oven preheated at 200*f. Set up supplies like in the picture, using the small bowl underneath the record.

STEP TWO: With the oven preheated at 200*f, shove that baby in there on the cookie sheet. Don't worry, its not used to catch excess drippings, its just used to easily take the setup out. The record won't get hot enough to completely melt...that is if you're not impatient and keep the oven at 200*! Keep it in there for five minutes to get a good flimsy record.

STEP THREE: So the five minutes is up..Now, this is where you'll have to work fast! Take the whole setup out of the oven and quickly flip the record over into the larger bowl. It should be about warm, but not too hot to the touch. This larger bowl is to just help you form the record into a more bowl-like shape. It hardens very quickly, so you'll have to work fast. If you're still not happy with it, you can throw it back in the oven and try again.

TIP: You can use these as goodie bowls to put crap in for your friends if you're too poor to go shopping or if you totally forgot it was their birthday or something. They'll think its sweet cause its homemade and neat, and you'll think "holy crap, this only cost me about 50 cents." OR you can make one for yourself and stash your crap in there..I use mine to put jewelry in. and bills. and make up. I love these things.
