Yes, it may seem silly but what women can live without a tape measure! I picked this up at Lowe's for less than $2. Well, it is so small and handy that I have caught several of the family members using it!! I want to keep it in my purse. I can't tell you how many times I have been out and about needing to measure something but I haven't had a tape measure. So, I decided to get my cute measurer back from the family and alter it. It was SUPER easy and quick to do, and now maybe the family will leave it alone. LOL!
First I punched two 1" circles out of Memory Box Spiceberry paper for the front and the back. I inked the edges of the circles in Memento ink. To adhere to circles to the plastic, I used lots of Glue Dots. That should keep the paper from falling off! I then added an alpha sticker using my first initial just incase the family forgets who it belongs to. :) Then I added a few ribbons to the chain, and viola, there you have it! Cute, easy, and personalized. Now what girl doesn't need this for her purse?
I thought about painting the red plastic because it is not my favorite color but then decided against it. I really wanted to use the new Memory Box Valentine's PINK papers for this but it didn't work with the red plastic. Oh well.
So, grab a few of these at Lowe's along with your favorite Memory Box papers and make a bunch for gifts to hand out through the year. I am sure teachers, co-workers, family members, etc., would all love to have one! Thanks for stopping by, and see you again soon!
