- 1). Lay the ribbon on a flat surface at least 12 inches long.
- 2). Align your ruler with the edge of your ribbon, being careful to keep the edges lined up and even for the most accurate measurements. If you are using a printable tape-measure template, you can either tape the printed template to your ribbon and use as your tape measure or use it like a ruler to make your own markings.
- 3). Make a line mark every inch on your ribbon, marking each inch with the appropriate number.
- 4). Continue marking inches until you reach the end of your ribbon tape measure.
- 5). Allow marker to dry completely before using your DIY tape measure.
