Tiered Records Candy Display

A while back, I had bought a tiered, silver-toned, serving stand at a garage sale. The silver coating wasn't very good but I liked the fact that the stem could be removed.

Then last week I was at an estate sale and found a stack of old records of various sizes. I noticed that there were some unusual old 33 1/3 rpm records that were only 7" across plus some that were only 9 3/4" across, both of which are smaller than the full-size records.

I decided to combine the smaller records and the stem of the tiered serving tray to create a fun and unusual tiered candy display. Wouldn't this be great as a centerpiece for a 1950s themed party!

  1. Great design and wonderful way to repurpose something everyone seems to have and nobody knows what to do with!

  3. So Fabulous! I was visiting Holly's Tickled Pink at 504 Main and of all the 80+ link-ups over there, yours caught my eye. I love it when an inspired click leads me back to one of my favorite creative places!

  8. I think this is so fun & creative. I once made bracelets with vinyl records. Up-cycling rocks! Thanks for the idea of taking another piece apart to get the things you need to make it.

    Warmly, Michelle

  14. Totally love this cool idea.
    I remember as a child my mother used to heat the old vinyls and then flute the edges to turn them into bowls. Your project has brought back some wonderful memories - thank you!

  20. Has anybody done a clear varnish or coating of some sort to make them easy to clean up after parties? I discovered some cool old records at a garage sale and found out my paper towel holder comes apart perfectly and the records fit perfect on it! I just have to paint the paper towel holder and screw it together! :) Thanks for the idea!
