Record Player Proposal

For my homemade record player I’m going to use a battery powered lollipop spinner to spin the record.

 

I’ll attach the lollipop spinner to a cake stand for the base of the record player. Depending on the weight of everything it will either be a two tiered cake stand or three tiered stand.

 

I’ll attach the record to the lollipop spinner by placing a chopstick where the lollipop would normally stand. For the speaker part of the record player I’ll use a party hat or a candy cone attached to a needle, like the record players we made in class.

 

I want my overall record player structure to be candy themed to go along with the spinning lollipop base. I’ll also look for a bubblegum pop record to play on my record player.

While I was researching cake stand ideas I found a homemade cake stand made from records which is an idea I could incorporate into my project- http://www.capecodtoday.com/blogs/index.php/2012/07/02/diy-vinyl-record-serving-tray?blog=276
