Normally, the sewing ruler in my house would lie very messy and difficult to find when needed.
So today I'm going to make it a container that looks like a tape measure with used gum case.
All that we need:
- Sewing Ruler (1x)
- Used gum tape box (1x)
- Super glue
- Paper knifes
- Screw
- A short aluminum bar(Get it from clothes hanger)

Adjust the size of mouth box, it's will be easier to pull and release the sewing ruler.
