Heres another idea for James Coit
I really can't stress how friggin' easy this is. Set oven temperature of 200F.
Put a bowl upside-down on a cookie sheet, whack the record on top, and set it in the oven for about five minutes.
Pull it out (use a hotpad or you'll burn yourself!), whip off the flimsy record, and shove it down inside another bowl to mold it.
They don't give off toxic fumes or anything, and they don't get melty enough that you see fingerprints.
You've only got a few seconds to work with it though, so be quick.
I think I'm going to glue some marbles to the bottom to act as legs and use a piece of tape to cover up the hole.
Voila! Ultra trendy potato chip bowls
