Measuring Tape Belts

This Stylishly Etched Leather Belt Design Doubles Up as a Measuring Tape

Instructables user Robb Godshaw teaches DIY enthusiasts how to create this unique measuring tape leather belt design. You can make a similar design yourself using laser etching.

While most individuals wear a belt on a daily basis, it tends to only serve the purpose of holding up your pants. Now your leather belt can double up as a measuring tool with this innovative ruler-infused etch design. Godshaw creates his very own ruler belt hybrid using a precision laser cutter. The laser cutter implemented the same numbers and notches you see on a plastic ruler onto the belt's leather surface. You'll always have a ruler on you now any time you need to quickly measure something.
