Tape Measure Bracelet Tutorial {VIDEO}

It’s been too long since my last tutorial!  I’ve really missed writing them so I’m excited about getting back into it.  Especially since I’ve added a new aspect … video!  I now have my own YouTube channel where I’ll be adding more tutorials, videos of my jewelry and vintage flea markets, and (eventually) Facebook party videos.  So enjoy my first — tape measure bracelet tutorial.Tape measure bracelet tutorial with video | DuctTapeAndDenim.com

Ribbon crimps for the tape measure bracelets | DuctTapeAndDenim.comI’m starting with a tape measure bracelet tutorial.  This is a project I did a few years ago for GreenCraft Magazine.  Above you can see all the ribbon crimps I keep on hand to match all my different tape measures.  I get most of these on Etsy.  Just do a search for “ribbon crimps”.   Or here’s a link to a package of assorted sizes of ribbon crimps from Twilight’s Fancy on Amazon.  Some in the photo came from them, too.

How to make tape measure bracelets | DuctTapeAndDenim.comYou’ll also need:

  • 6″ vintage tape measure
  • 2 ribbon crimps
  • 1 lobster clasp
  • 2 — 4-6mm jump rings
  • 4-5 — 8-12mm twisted or etched jump rings OR 2″ chain with large links
  • 2 pair pliers

If you can’t find any vintage tape measures that you want to cut you can get this Ruler Ribbon by Tim Holtz Idea-ology on Amazon.
