Tape measure

1. Cut up your tape measure

Depending on what you want to make, measure the length you need, and then cut that length from your metal tape measure.


Round off each end of the metal band you have cut.

Tape measure band

This kind of metal tape measure will work just like a slap bracelet, because it will mold around your wrist!

Covering band

2. Cover your band

Cover your whole band with packing or duct tape to both cover the tape measure and protect you from any sharp edges.

Decorating band

3. Decorate your band

Now use glue to attach whatever feathers you choose, to completely cover the top of your band.
