Fifties Drinks

I attended a 60th birthday party a few months back and I was in charge of drinks.  So...I decided to go with the good ol' days of glass bottles.  I grabbed a variety of drinks (and later waters) and got this old crate (I stole in from my Mom)....straws and bottle top opener (even though they twist off....whatever).  This is also a super simple idea for a backyard bbq...it was a convenient way to carry my drinks....go figure.

The Decades: Record Bowl

I saw this idea awhile ago on the Greenbean Crafterole.  She found it on youtube, and I just love it!  ...you know, as opposed to all the ideas I see, try, and share that I hate.  ;o)  I love this because it doesn't get a whole lot easier! 

I found a record at the Thrift Store for a Dollar. 

Instead of using two bowls, I wanted my record a little wider.  I pulled out some pans and rigged the basic shape I wanted. 

I heated the oven to about 225 and placed the record in the middle of the bowls.  It melted down within just a few short minutes. 

I could have placed another bowl over the record to make it curl up more dramatically, but I wanted a wider bowl so I can see the junk it catches.
