metal measuring tape snap purse

Who started us on those? Where are the directions? I want to make a few
for our daughter's friends. I could probably figure it out by looking at
the one that's still here but it sure would help if I knew where the online
directions were. ( I had no idea that anybody was particularly excited
about the ones I made and gave away - only to learn that they are quite
special, used constantly and getting grubby.) Polly

You can buy something to use for the snap top if you don't have an old tape measure. I don't know what it is, or where to find it (really useful, I know) but I've seen it and the function appears to be just the same. I love these little purses and would love to try my hand at one, but figure they're habit forming.

The metal measuring tape is really easy to come by. You insist that DH buy
a new one for himself and there are really snazzy ones available now - got
everything but a GPS on 'em. Do not try it yourself until you get the
banners done. October is nearly here. Polly

Well, these look really great. Will have to try my hand at one of
these in the very near future!

You can also use a slat from a mini-blind if you happen to have any lying
around. DH got my tape measures from Harbor Freight, but my friend got hers
at the Dollar store, even cheaper. I don't have any Dollar stores close by
me

These have been very popular at our LQS. Susan
