Vintage Red Kitchen Scale & The Key To My Heart

Valentines Day Craft Project

Almost Friday!

The middle of January.

Can you believe it? Me neither.

I start back to college next Tuesday.

But till then…I’m making hearts and “love stuff”.

I made the framed heart Tuesday and found the kitchen scales at a local antique shop yesterday.

I planned to wait until next week to post the heart craft but after I bought the scales…..well, they’re perfect to display the key to my heart.

And I couldn’t wait to share the scales with you.

Sometime in the past I used the vintage gold frame and a drop cloth to create something….I think I used it with a decorative push pin and a little note.

But I’m done with that now so…..

…..enter the red burlap….

….and a button….and a key.

I cut the heart out myself….no template.

Yes, I’m that good

This photo shows where I glued the heart and the key on with Elmer’s Glue.

White when wet but invisible when it dries….yippee!

The scales before I cleaned them.

They were priced at $12 and I thought that was a fair price.

I haven’t seen any like these before and I’m a sucker for red and white.

The rust and chippiness just adds character and charm.

I’ve dubbed next week as “Love Week” here at Petticoat Junktion.

It will be about hearts, love, and red…..and maybe more.

Have a great day…oh yeah, how did you like the craft and the scales?

  5. So cute!!! I love your website. You are so talented!

  6. The little burlap heart is darling! I adore old keys and that was a great little Valentine art piece. I really like the scale, I would have bought it if I saw it! School is going well with me, 20 pre-k students are a lot to handle but I have a wonderful class this year. I applaud you for returning to school, it’s tough but solo worthwhile!
