Make a Covered Measuring Tape

Sukigirl made a very cute covered tape measure using stuff she got at the dollar store. I love covered measuring tapes - such a great canvas for creative crafting. You can put just about any motif you can imagine on a cover for a measuring tape! This one uses a rustic heart and button. So cute! If you have felted sweater scraps on hand, you can use them for this project as well!

Project Estimate:

  • Tape measure, $1
  • Felt, $1 or on hand
  • Button, on hand
  • Embroidery floss, on hand

Total cost: $1
