Versatile Vinyl: the Sound of Reuse

-

How many ways can you recycle a record? As it turns out, the possibilities are endless. If you’ve been keeping tabs on my EcoEtsy Favorites, you’ve seen them converted into hand-painted clocks and decorative wall art.

To add to such ingenious ideas, the team at Retired Record crafted these outdated albums into a sleek soap dish to keep your vanity forever free of goo ($12). EcoEtsy artisans aren’t the only ones brainstorming next to a pile of classic rock hits. Susan recently featured snazzy vinyl bowls, and, last spring, Larkyn introduced us to Vinylux, a design team whose complete product line is made from recycled albums. And, this resourcefulness isn’t limited to home décor. Earlier this month, Carlie stumbled upon an entire jewelry collection created from old LP’s. Sounds great.
