A customer asked me to create 3 measuring tape bracelets for her and I only had one made up, so I got busy making some more.
Then someone else ordered another one, and someone else ordered another one.
I knew my week was going to be filled with numbers.
I decided to create some matching earrings as well.
Since I had all the supplies out, I decided to create some other bracelets from another antique measuring tape I had just brought home.
Each one is a little different, with different buttons on them.
I started working on another coat rack and painted it with chalkboard paint, but it seemed a little too plain. So I added some of the tape measure to the top of it. I fell in love with the old schoolhouse look it now has. I think it would be great to write the family member’s names above the hooks, and leave little messages as well.
I distressed along the edges and sanded the coat hooks, so it all looks really aged.
This baby is really long – over 67 inches, so it will work well for an entryway.
Since I was on a roll, I decided to work on another repurposed tape measure project.
I made some “old school” looking wooden hangers.
Old book prints and maps look wonderful displayed on them.
In addition to creating things with cloth measuring tapes, I also listed two wooden folding rulers in the shop as well.
I hope your week is measuring up too!
Vaya con Dios,
Angie
See the other bed side rail coat rack here.
These are great, love the bracelets. Now I will have to look for an old tape measure.
FYI – the link for the crimps goes to a page not found.
I hadn’t seen this post before and I am so glad you reposted it. Such creative ideas. If you ever decide to make more bracelets I would love to get one!
I remember this post Angie, I love those bracelets! You always have such great repurposing ideas!
On a side note… all of your pictures were no longer visible?!?!? DOH! I think I might have given up blogging if that happened to me!

Thanks Angie, these were all so cute. I love the bracelet and earrings. Have a wonderful and Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for reposting these! They are beautiful. (FYI: The crimp link says that the page is not found. The bed side rail coat rack link just takes you back to your home page.) I hope you have a wonderful new year with your precious family! God Bless, Tina
PS Thank you for all the wonderful and helpful posts this year. I love the printable library too! 🙂
