Scale Makeover

So I was in my bathroom today and I looked at our scale and thought to myself "Geazzzz, that is ugly!" So I immediately thought that I should recover it with scrapbook paper. I told my husband, who loved the idea and actually helped me with ideas and helped take the plastic clear piece off to make it easier for me. He suggested I should use plastic to cover it (so we would obviously not ruin the paper) and had an old binder I could use!! He is the BEST. So I tore off the ugly looking creamish/yellowish "Paper" that was on their and traced out the scrapbook paper. Then I cut the clear plastic off the binder and attached it on the ends with hot glue. (I would have rather used double-sided tape for this part, but didn't have any). Put the plastic cover back on and there ya go! Looks like a whole new scale and matches our black/white bathroom! And the best part is I had everything at my house for it already! And I am so happy to not have to look at the ugliness anymore.

  6. That scale is SOOOOOOO Cute! Mine is white and I have to always dust it because I never want to use it. That would work well!
