In this video, I walk you through my entire carving process of how I make my own tear/deckle edged ruler from start to finish and how to do it safely.
Please BE CAREFUL when using cutting knives to carve out grooves in ruler.
This tutorial will shows you (-especially those new to junk journal crafting, scrap-booking and other paper crafts -) how to get natural looking torn paper edges, tears and ripped paper effect for your crafting projects.
Thanks for your visit.
Where I live there are no wooden rulers, but thin plastic rulers are in abundance. I donned my safety glasses and snipped the edges of the plastic ruler with my small wire cutters. I love the result and it took a few minutes to accomplish. Thank you so much for your inspiration!!!
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I have been wanting a paper tearing ruler, but the cost is more than I am willing to pay. Now, because of your tutorial, I will be able to make a few of my own with little cost. Thank you, again.
Thanks for the tutorial. All but love and appreciation.

Thank you so much Dave.
It’s really amazing that we can create our own tearing rulers! Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much Erica. Customizing your own rulers is thrilling. It is wonderful to have so many inexpensive options for our crafting requirements. Thanks again. Have a great day.
I have been looking for a cutting ruler and never thought of creating one. This is great and I am going to try it. Hopefully I will still have all my fingers when I am finished. Lol
Hi dear Char, how are you? I am sorry I have been MIA. I have been focused on getting more new kits into my store. My latest are a Boho Bohemian Moroccan inspired theme... but I am overdue for a visit over to your channel, hope to, when I get the chance. Thank you so much for lovely comment, it made me laugh. I do hope you have all your precious fingers still. Best wishes to you. Huge hugs! XX
@@medievalmirage I have wanted to come in and see what was going on but been so busy also, never enough time. My husband had a cold and now so do I, oh it's wonderful to share. HA I am heading over to your shop right now to see what's new. Be well and I hope to catch up with you later when I can sit for awhile, maybe a cup of tea?!
I think a round or triangular file would be helpful! But, just what you've shown here is great!!! Thank you so much for the idea! xo
Very clever! Great idea.
Nothing to apologize for on the 1st video...learned a great deal. Terrific idea to make our own! thanks for these 2 video tutorials...much appreciated!
I totally agree. Apologies just take up valuable video time. Be proud of your work and let it stand!
No need to stress, your doing a great job! You have the best ideas! Love this, I'm going to make one! I haven"t been able to find one in the store, and I'm glad I didn't!, because yours work so much better! TFS Hugs!
Hi Marg, thank you so much for your very heartwarming and supportive comments. I really appreciate your positive and graciously kind feedback. Thank you so much. Best wishes to you. xx
Smashing fun fun fun paper rulers all of it can't wait for Jan 2021 to try it all out amazing
Thanks for sharing and also safety tips so important 🎶
Hey Jaef. I actually tried this and made one out of a paint stir stick cause I don't have a plain wooden ruler yet. It did split some like your one ruler but I got it to work. Love this idea. Works great. Sharon
Hi Sharon, I cannot believe that I missed your lovely comment. I am sorry my reply is 2 years behind. What a great substitute, using paint sticks when no rulers are around to create tear rulers. You are so super clever. Well done. Thanks again and best and happy wishes to you.
Absolutely brilliant idea. I have piles of fresh paint stirring sticks,, so I can make as many as I need to get the effect I'm looking for.
GREAT tutorialNamesta ✌️ 🤗🐞🥰
Such a great idea. I hate paying for specialized craft materials but I love making them!
Paying for specialized tools is especially painful when you aren't committed to using them more than a few times. I'm focusing on rolled paper beads right now and am grateful for ideas like these tearing sticks and for others on how to make your own bead rollers. This has not saved me money, because I would not have bought the tools, but now I can make them and do a better job on the relatively small number of beads I'll make.
I'm so glad Rachel mentioned your channel!
Of course it's helpful. Thank you!
Thank you Rachel.
I know this is an old idea,but you are absolutely brilliant!! I’m always trying to find inexpensive crafty ideas, and I’ve found the mother load with your channel! Love the coffee staining in a small space videos, the boho coffee stain paper videos, and the reusable/printable wax seals videos!!! Just amazing ideas!!! I’ve subbed so I won’t miss a thing! Thanks so much for sharing! 💙💙💙
Awwww Leslie, you are so lovely. Wow, what incredible support. Thank you immensely for your positive and uplifting feedback and for planting a huge smile on my face, heart and spirits with all your wonderful and kind comments. Thank you so much for subscribing, I appreciate it greatly. Thank you so much. Take care and Best wishes to you. xx
Medieval Mirage you are most welcome! I am a YT creator too so I know true value of a GENUINELY HONEST and HEARTFELT comment. I’m happy to share the kindness! I would comment on every video but I am creating evil I watch and my phone doesn’t really like having painty fingers touch it. Lol
Very cool. I think I will try with my flex shaft (jewellery making tool that is essentially a dremel that hangs).
Thanks Adrienne. Let us know how you go with your flex shaft.
You should try soaking it in hot water a while and then cut to make it softer and easier
Thanks Abigail for your suggestion :)
@@medievalmirage can u tell me if it works out
Hi Abigail, I tried your idea on my last cheap wooden ruler that I have in my stash, but I didn't notice much difference. In fact, I found it harder to carve with section of ruler that had soaked in very hot water for about 5 minutes. Maybe it was the type of ruler I was using, but for me, soaking it in hot water, didn't work. Maybe it might for you. Please let me know if it does. Thanks. Wishing you a lovely day.
@@medievalmirage thank you. Ill try to figure it out
Awesome. This day gets better and better. Thank you :)
Thank you Carol. Really appreciate your kind words :)
Hey Jarf. Really great idea. Love your digitals and it's great seeing you on u tube. Look forward to seeing more. Xx
Hi Donna, thank you so much for your wonderful support here on YT and with my kits. Really appreciate it. Best wishes. xx
Great idea. Maybe some safety glasses would be in order, 😉Thanks so much for sharing !!! I will try this. ❤
Thank you!!
WOW, great idea! gotta go find a cheap wooden ruler and give this a shot, thanks for the idea!
Hi Robin, thank you so much for your wonderful and encouraging feedback.
Again, fantastic! Thanks!
Hi Jen, thanks so much.
You are fantastic! Thanks!
Hi Nan, you are so very kind. Thank you so much.
Fabulous
Thank you so much Gerrie.
helpful!
Wow❣️cool❣️I just found your channel, new subbie here from Wisconsin..thank you.
Great to have you join up as a subbie Linda. Thank you so much. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Medieval Mirage , you’re so welcome. Anytime❤️
Cool rulers😊I’m extraordinarily clumsy, so I’d probably lose a finger!
Thanks so much Linda. I can be quite clumsy myself, that is why I kind of stress a lot about safety. Hope you are having a great day. xx
I’ve learned so much from you already, I just learned about you yesterday, from Gayle Agostinelli, one of my favorite you tubers. Watching you do this has given me an idea, but maybe you would like to try it. You are familiar with the little metal cutters placed inside your aluminum foil and wax paper boxes, right? Next time you empty the box, instead of throwing it away, my idea is to remove the metal cutting edge and mar it with metal snips. It seems like it would work. Perhaps it could somehow be attached to the edge of a wooden ruler and viola! If you try it, let me know.
Another idea I have for the empty boxes is to use them for the rolls of glassine paper I found at the art supply store. And for the masking paper found at Home Depot. I’m anxious to try both of these ideas. Not that I don’t love yours!!! I do and plan to do exactly that with a cheap yardstick....thank you for so freely sharing your great ideas and techniques! *hugs*
Hi Sue, so wonderful to have you visit my channel via the gorgeous Gayle, thank you so much. I really love your idea about using the metal serrated edges from the boxes you mentioned. That is a brilliant idea. I will try to give it a whirl sometime down the track. Please let me know if you get to try it out before I do. Would love to know how that went. Thanks so much Sue for sharing your fabulous ideas. Keep them coming...
Great idea thankyou
Hello Karen, thank you so much.
Thanks! I want it!~^^
I wonder if using a serrated knife to make initial cuts before using the cutter would help. Or a file after the cuts to deepen and smooth them.
Hi Rae Lynn, great suggestions. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wearing safety glasses is probably a good idea too
So true. Thank you.
You deserve more subs...
Thank you.
New subscriber here =) I really like your tutorials! Carving my own tearing ruler has never crossed my mind, but now I will definitely give it a go =) About the splinters - could it be that rulers mostly are made from thinner, cheaper material (maybe offcuts from making something else in industry.At least here in Sweden they make those wooden foldable measuring-thingies in that way)? Just got me thinking since I have worked with thin wood that was very hard to even cut in to (had to use tools for metal or electric machines etc,). Best wishes from Sweden! Looking forward to more nice tutorials =)
Hello Ingela, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on rulers, and the type of wood used. Thank you so much for subscribing. Best wishes.
What kind of paper are you using? If it’s card stock, what weight?
Hi Shirley, the paper used if I remember correctly was cardstock about 180 to 200 or maybe even 250 approx gsm. You may need Google to convert that for you if you are using pounds. But you can use any paper weight. I use this tear ruler with plain printer paper that is 80gsm and still get terrific results. I hope that helps.
@@medievalmirage thank you for sharing and replying...
