Vinyl Record Rings

October 16, 2007 by Alissa

vinyl_rings.jpgLaura Beamer‘s bottle cap jewelry featured in yesterday’s post, Bottle Cap Beauties, briefly mentioned her stunning vinyl record work, but I think they deserve a post of their very own. Shown are her popular and stunning vinyl rings, priced at $56.

Laura says she gives “replay” to 45 rpm records by creating jewelry that is both fun and sophisticated through design. She writes: “I use a large machinist tool to punch pieces from colorful and black records to use as the centerpiece. I then set the vinyl into sterling silver using a rivet and brass washer. The rivet is a strong part of the design element. Shades of colors may change as many of these records are difficult to find! If you have any requests, color requests that is, please don’t hesitate to email me. I just might have it!!”

Her work is found in dozens of galleries and jewelry stores in the United States and Canada.

    I did not make these gorgeous things, so I don’t know Laura’s exact methods, but she does give you a behind-the-scenes mini tutorial on how she makes her bottle cap jewelry: http://www.laurabeamer.com/bottle_caps/

Transforming an IKEA Shelf into a Rustic Farmhouse Beauty

Looking to add some rustic charm to your space without breaking the bank? Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has shared a brilliant DIY hack that turns a standard IKEA storage shelf into a stunning farmhouse-style piece.

Donna started with the basic IKEA HENJNE shelving unit, which is functional but lacks character. To infuse it with rustic appeal, she stained the wood to deepen its tone and added vintage baskets and a stenciled crate labeled “Pure Cane Sugar” for a nostalgic touch. This clever combination not only enhanced the shelf’s aesthetic but also increased its storage capacity, making it both beautiful and practical.?

This project is a perfect example of how a little creativity can transform everyday furniture into something special. By incorporating vintage elements and a touch of DIY flair, Donna elevated a simple storage unit into a statement piece that complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to industrial.?

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home decor, this IKEA hack is a fantastic option. With just a few materials and some elbow grease, you can create a unique piece that adds character and functionality to your space.?
