How to: Homemade Calipers


Materials needed:

  • Cardboard box

  • Razor Knife

  • Ruler or Square

  • Pencil

STEP 1 Place your straight edge along your cardboard seam and edge and use your marker to make a line. Make two outlines.



STEP 2 Use your cardboard cutter to cut out the two right angle forms. Now you have two arms of a caliper.



STEP 3 Attach them together with a paper clip.



STEP 4 Hold your cardboard caliper over the area to be measured so that the points of the caliper barely touch the subject.



STEP 5 Measure between the arms of the caliper.
