Crafts from vinyl records

The long-awaited summer came, and a large number of people went on vacation to the village or to their country houses.

Now they are not needed, but with a little effort and imagination, the plates can be given a “new life”.




For creating fashion watches You will need one vinyl record, an inexpensive watch in a plastic case and a sharp knife. Vinyl, which is the main material for crafts, has one special property - it has a low melting point.

The only condition is to leave untouched a place for the future dial. Then the hands are removed from the watch, and their case is glued to the back of the vinyl record. Arrows are put back on the pulley, the mechanism starts and is set for the current time.
