I was hesitant at first about painting that 78, but it ended up being my favorite piece. So glad you saved it from the landfill. It came out gorgeous. 💖

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Patricia.R.]

I love your decor style. The bowling pin turned out great, and everyone here in the comments loves it. But that 78 record, is the bees knees! It looks like a toile lacquer tray. Such a cool piece. Debi sent me.

That's a 78 record. Not sure how I feel about ruining one for the sake of making home decor. I do love the bowling pin!

[@renatefrancis390]

I agree, There are Too many other items that she could paint on. If it's Scratch up that's another story.

Thank you thank you thank you I have a huge collection of 78’s that were my parents and had no luck selling them at the estate sale I now have ideas for what to do with them!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

You’re welcome Star!!😊

[@elsielaneartgarage]

I love both projects! Now I know what I’ll do with my bowling pins! I’m excited to teach blending at the Vintage Soul Retreat but you don’t need any help from me! ❤ I can’t wait to see you!!

[@buttonsacorns3734]

I like your bowling pin better than the one your mother has! The record transformation is brilliant. Your flips are my favorite in this challenge. So glad to have found you and look forward to future videos.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@peanutpearson3333]

Love what you did with the old record!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Peanut! 😊

[@userrobinmp]

I REALLY like the record idea!, would have made a cool clock face! Bowling pin, I would have painted a face on it, used decals and transfers to make a dress and glue a straw hat on it. it doesnt look much different than when you got it, but you did make it look vintage so kudos on that!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Robin! 😊

[@ParkerIII]

I bought 32 bowling pins last week!!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh wow!!!😊

[@sharonmcbride7201]

My friend is hesitant to try a lot of painting and craft ideas. She tells me she can’t do it like I do. I kept telling her how many (flops) I’ve had. So, my first attempt at stenciling, on a t shirt, using paint and sponge dauber. Holy macaroni, it was a disaster. When I first tried blending I kept sending her pics of my progress and said, see, I have plenty of disasters. And I still have them, we all do. You just have to keep on trying.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I completely agree Sharon! You have to keep trying until you get the results you are looking for! 😊

[@deemanolaros6036]

It's a 78

[@cindykromholtz1176]

we are working on a out side bowling alley

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That would be awesome Cindy! 😊

[@debirice7405]

I think they are 78's. I have a big box of them. I make clocks out of some of them.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

@@debirice7405 great idea on the clocks!! Love it!! ❤️

[@annh.]

33, 78, 45 is the size (speed played on a record player) of the records.

[@lesliegooch7565]

​@annh. Yup the speed/rpm

[@arthouse8063]

Too bad all the young ones only know digital. Vinyl has had a huge resurgence along with the prices. Us baby boomers are sitting on some $$$ if we kept them! Sure glad I did as many are autographed with the likes of some big names (from my radio DJ days) Nice work young lady on your find's.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@susanhaggart3675]

It's a 78 lol

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I really like your project, but I think it’s sad to use an antique record.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

@@cynthiafisher9907 they were at the bins. If no one takes them they end up in the landfill. I’m honestly giving them new life. I try to rescue and upcycle as many items that I can.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms Yeah, I see your point. I’m just too nostalgic.

[@debbiehale2509]

We have a lot and have given hundreds away. They aren't rare. You can really get rid of them.
