"...you can try again for the same dollar!" LOVE your attitude! Hi 🙋♀️ Funny how my mind works... a person would've thought I discovered a cure for... I dunno, a world wide virus or something (OK, I thought I had)when I decided there HAD to be a way to make my own tearing ruler. ...I mean 18 bucks plus shipping for a messed up piece of metal? C'mon! So since the rulers I've seen have all been metal, surely what I was going to make had to be metal as well. And the only way to chip or somehow slightly distort metal was with more metal. Hmm... 🤔 A saw! Yes, that was it, a saw. Although I've gotten metal rulers at the Dollar Tree before, I couldn't find any on my recent shopping trip, and since if the Dollar Tree doesn't sell it it doesn't exist in my world, my tearing ruler project (you know, the one that was gonna turn the crafting world on it's head? ...yeah, that one) was gonna have to wait. Somehow today I stumbled onto your video and 🤦♀️ I don't know if I'm more embarrassed or grateful. It's not the first time I've come up with a once-in-a-lifetime idea that people have been doing for years. 🙄 I trust you see the humor in all this. 🤭😄😅🤣 Anyway, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for sharing this. Your directions are crystal clear and your rulers are beautiful... think ill I'll go make some 😁! With gratitude from the Southern California desert, MK ❤🌞🌵
What a delightful story, thank you for sharing it with me. I am so glad my video could bless you. Enjoy your new tear ruler or rulers, it is fun enough you might want to make a few. Blessings.
What fun! Very therapeutic to wantonly destroy a ruler edge. I have a Tim Holtz ruler that I accidentally nicked the edge of, it sits accusingly on my desk unused since I replaced it; now I know what to do with it. Thanks
oh this is brilliant! I've been wanting one for a long time, found one on ebay and I don't like it at all. Was less expensive than amazon but still sad I spent the money on it. This is amazing and I can make it the way I want it! Thanks, so simple!
WOW COOL 👌😎👍 I BEEN THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING THESE, YOU SAVED ME MONEY!! I can make more for less!! I bet the Dremel would make a cool one too! My head's spinng!! Genius Lisa!! I'm sharing this great idea too!! You're the best! TFS 🌻☮️💙😘☯️🦋💜🌻🕉️🥰🐞💚
I've been looking for one of these. As a matter of fact I left Hobby Lobby yesterday looking. Thanks I know I've go an old plastic ruler laying around somewhere.👍
Watched this last night what a great way to chew the edge of that ruler I have a fancy metal one I never use because I do not like how it tears but that plastic one you made makes a beautiful edge way to go girl
OMGosh i LOVE You :) you just saved me a bucket load of money cause i could not get those tear rulers in norway and its really expensive to get something shipped from amazon but now i got my own :) Thank you. Big hug from a norwegian subbie
Awesome idea! Thanks, I haven't been able to find my purchased deckle edge since I moved and didn't want to spend a lot for a new one. Hopefully I can find that type of ruler or similar at Dollar Tree and make my own. I like the self made edge better than the purchased one, too!
This is so cool. When I saw one of your videos for the first time, I was like...WHAT A COOL RULER. My Amazon searches were full of "ruler with wavy edge" and such. lol. I'm so glad you shared this! It's like customized and no two rulers would be the same. Neato.
I need to make one of these!! I’ve looked for the nice metal one but it’s just in U.K. and too expensive for me. Fiskars makes one, but I don’t like the edge. I am going to make one because I know I will use it a lot. TFS! ❤️❤️
just watched you use a tear ruler in a video for the scavenger hunt 2020 for the quote piece - - thought that looks great - now i find out it is a dollar store item - thank you for this.
This is great! I never thought of making my own year rulers. I have the We R Memory Keepers set of tear rulers and I only ever use one of the edges. I use them more for making tassels than tearing.
It's there because I found it the otherdsy. I'll see if I can found it again and post the link. I did wanted to say sorry for not thanking you on the video that I ask a question on how you make on of your file folder journal. I've been sick and was in the hospital again a couple of weeks ago and completely forgot to send you a message for helping me. Thank you for the help

So happy to save you some money, yes I think the dremel might work well as long as you used eye protection.
Oh good point😘🤗

I am glad this was a timely video for you. Go for it.

I am so glad this will help you. You can find a similar ruler at Walmart.

So happy to help you save some money Sally, blessings.
I put some cardstock on the back of the tear edge of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It tears very nicely too.
I tried that, but the sharpness of it and no place to put it up protected made me decide that one was not for me. Blessings
Well, who knew. Thanks for sharing, Lisa!
You are so welcome!
just watched you use a tear ruler in a video for the scavenger hunt 2020 for the quote piece - - thought that looks great - now i find out it is a dollar store item - thank you for this.
You are so welcome
THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So glad it was helpful.
Looks good. Another way to tear paper. TFS
I love tearing paper every way I can, lol
I saw another tutorial on making one of these using a wood ruler but I like this plastic one better. TYFS
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. You just saved me a lot of money!
You are welcome!

Thank you Lisa! I think you did do a video.....I think I remember it...but I ain’t always right! 😳😀😳😀
Thank you Joan, I think I did too, but cannot find it. If I did now there are two. lol
Thank you so much for your video. Haven’t got a tear ruler but soon thanks to you I have. Have a great weekend!! 💜
You are so welcome Mrs Gigi
This is great! I never thought of making my own year rulers. I have the We R Memory Keepers set of tear rulers and I only ever use one of the edges. I use them more for making tassels than tearing.
Now you can stry out different styles and make ones you like, and it won't cost much to do it. Win Win
Thank you this is so neat 💕
You’re welcome 😊
Great idea! Tyfs 💖
You are welcome, have fun with it.
genius :) i Just made me one... I LOVE IT.. one side smaller breaks the other.. larger breaks
Great to hear! I sure love mine. Blessings.
Lisa Thank you thank you, I have been looking for a good year ruler. Along it has been in my craftroom who knew.😊👍
Lol, glad I could help you find one.
Wow love it.
Thank you! 😊
Thanks. I will try that
Hope you enjoy
I used an old ruler that was heavier plastic for mine a long time ago... I think I’ll turn it around and do the other side!😊
Hugs Marsha
Go for it!!
I couldn't cut in a straight line if my life depended on it! Wonder if I could tear using a ruler? I'll definitely be trying this! THANK YOU!!!🙏💙🙏
You are so welcome, Erica, blessings
