It's ok. MCC to the rescue. Pure blissful vintage land. SO. I find this hot pink....yes hot pink & gold to boot, scale for 3 dollars. The covering was peeling but hot damn it was cute. And I had a plan.
I peeled off that pink and gold...I wish I didn't have to as it was CHOICE!
I glued some hot pink felt to the surface of the scale, and covered it all with a clear mac-tac.
Then came the glue gun...(thank you ms.c) O glorious glue gun, you burnt my finger, those long stringy glue bits are everywhere, wait, those actually may be blisters on my finger, but you embellished my scale in the nicest way. Gold baubles and pink rope trim.
Rocketboy says...What? I have to use that??? Yes, I said, please feel free to step on my beautiful new old retro hot pink & gold scale, if you'd like a private meeting with the hot glue gun.
Scale: 3 bucks, pink felt: 1 buck, mac-tac: 2 bucks, trim: 8 bucks. Hot pink & gold scale, wait for it...
PRICELESS! ;)
