I have a love hate relationship with my scales (unless they are measuring sugar for cupcake recipes). I thought I would jazz up mine this week to try and take a positive spin on the dreaded thing.
- My scales are from Ikea.
- Grab some oilcloth fabric ( I used Paradise Pink from HERE).
- Turn the scales upside down and lie on the wrong side of fabric.
- Trace around your scales to replicate the shape.
- Cut it out.
- Put it on top of the scales (right side facing down) and mark where the window is (do we really need to see it?).
- Cut the space for the window & make any small adjustments around all sides so the piece of fabric sits nicely on top.
- Use a generous amount of craft glue on the top surface of the scales. Smooth around with fingers (messy I know but the best way).
- Stick your fabric piece on top & leave a few hours to dry!
Lets celebrate!
