Imagine a Salvador Dalí style clock in your mind before beginning. This photo is but one representation of his famous "melting" clock style.
Pick out an appropriate record. Choose one that you no longer wish to listen to but that you would continue to enjoy seeing on display. Records that are not collectible and are badly scratched are preferable.
Put your record on a cookie sheet.
Put the record in an oven that has been pre-heated to 200°F (90°C). Only leave it in there about 5 minutes.
Take it out after five minutes. It should be nice and soft. Place it somewhere that has a flat edge. Bend down the very top of the record and make it nice and flat. You don't have very much time before it hardens, but you can heat it back up if needed.Make a Salvador Dali Clock Step 5Bullet1.jpg
(If using a clock kit from a hobby store, skip this step) Pull the clock apart. take off the hands; and pull off the clock mechanism.
Put the clock mechanism on the record. The record already has a hole right in the middle of it and the clock mechanism will fit right through. Use hot glue to secure it to the back of the record. Trim the minute hand and the second hand so that they stay inside the label area.
Drill a small hole at the very top so that you can hang the clock. Add a thread or wire for hanging.
Hang your Salvador Dalí clock.
