Measuring Tape Bracelet

Have an extra measuring tape handy? Why not make it into a bracelet with these simple steps! This craft was inspired by Mark Montano from The Big Ass Book of Crafts 2 under the chapter "Wristful Thinking".

To make this bracelet, you will need:

• measuring tape
• scissors
• Velcro sticky dots
• sewing machine with zigzag stitch
• matching thread

First, use the measuring tape to measure around your wrist, then cut off at least 1" extra.

From there, with your sewing machine set on the zigzag stitch, sew together the pieces, long end to long end, side by side. Then, fold the ends 1/2" in and straight stitch across to seal.

Finally, use Velcro sticky dots to attach to both ends of the bracelet for the closure.

This is the perfect accessory for someone who really is into sewing, like myself (I mean, I am just starting off, but, anyway...) or to compliment any type of outfit! I say wear it for both reasons, because you can get the most out of everything accomplishment!
