This upcycling craft is for all my fellow seamstresses out there, to spruce up your sewing space. I hope you save your old measuring tapes because you're going to need a couple.
You'll also need:
- A frame
- A piece of card stock that fits your frame
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun or super glue
All you're doing is arranging the measuring tapes on the card stock in any way you want. I happened to have this frame I found at the thrift store, with a neat oval plastic mat (I spray painted it red). Other shapes would be really cute too, like a heart.
I used the oval mat as a stencil on the paper, cut the measuring tapes (3 of them) to fit and glued them horizontally in a repeating pattern. Once it was done, then just placed it in the frame.
If you don't want to make wall decor, consider one of these measuring tape upcycling ideas:
