Has anyone used old vinyl records?

15 years ago

I recently spotted some crafts made from old records, and I was wondering how you would cut them up. Would it be with a fine saw blade? I hadn't found any directions,just some pretty things I'd love to make for myself.

Has anyone used Luxury Vinyl Plank throughout?

I'm not overly concerned about it looking like exactly like wood, because for me the practicality and price are paramount, living in a rural area with a busy family. I'll have a kitchen open to the dining room and living room, and I don't want hardwood in the kitchen. And I do like the idea of a clean look with the same flooring throughout. Plus I grew up with hardwood floors in a NYC prewar apartment, so I have particular expectations for hardwood : ) . Though I have to say that even the TrafficMaster Allure has fooled a lot of people, including visitors from Europe who live with hardwood themselves. And our dining room has windows on three sides, so it gets a lot of light. Besides, I'm so thrilled with vinyl plank flooring that I'm happy to tell anyone who asks about the details.

HI I had Prime Waterproof Dark Roast installed in my kitchen and back of the house, I hate it, I cannot get this floor looking clean. It smudges and never look clean. Has anyone else had problems with this floor. I have tried Bono and Rejuvinate cleaner for LVP floors, but left them looking hazy. My floor is Matt finish. Which seems to show every foot print and sock print. Im going crazy trying to find the best cleaning for this floor. Could it be my mop? I use a microfiber mop. Does anyone else use something else? Suggestions are appriciated.

IMO often you get what you pay for . Mannington has been around a long time has the other company? That would make this decision a bit easier for me I would go with the guy with the best record.

Has anyone used/installed Simba SPC Vinyl Planks?

Found the brand at a local flooring shop near Toronto, but I can’t find any examples of it online. Was originally thinking of using Provenza, but it’s pretty $$ getting it in Canada and Simba had some comparable colours and half the price. (Small squares are Provenza, longer rectangles are Simba)

Oh my goodnessssss :) Thanks so much njtomboy! I really like the purses, and the headband....ok, I loved all of it,lol! A lot of information there in those tutorials. I'm sorting through my crafts right now cleaning up some messes (unfinished projects) to get ready for some crafts made from records and aluminum cans.

Yeah... some have more info than others.. but they give you an idea of your options.

That's why I loved HGTV shows like B. Original, Treasure Makers and the old episodes of Decorating Cents.. even if I didn't like the projects.. I got tons of ideas from their techniques used! LOL

Have fun and post pics when you can!
