Yardsticks and Rulers

I have a pretty nice collection of yardsticks and rulers!  This photo shows many of them.
 The aqua yardstick is one of my favorites. It's a great color!

Pinterest has a pretty nice assortment of ideas for using them! 
 Using them on stair risers is my favorite...but I'm pretty sure it won't be Bill's favorite.


Covering a tabletop with some, or using them to make a hook board are
 pretty fabulous ideas too!

Look what you can do with just one yardstick! Love this tree!!
I think it would look great on my front door next Christmas.

Key chains are a perfect way to use up some of the scraps, and even a little inch can
 become a fun magnet!  So many ideas...so little time. 
But I really hope to make one or two of these ideas happen soon!

I love all these ideas. I found some rulers in a thrift shop near me and I couldn't believe how much they wanted for them. I passed them up

Those are some wonderful ideas. I've also seen picture frames made from them too. So many possibilities is right. Have fun crafting my friend. Blessings ♡

I totally love the stair risers! But that would take a heck of a lot of rulers and yard sticks. Another great idea would be to use them layered as a picture frame.The tabletop is pretty cool too! Now you make me want to start collecting them----and I do NOT need another collection!
