  • Grab 5 wooden rulers + 2 sticks of hot glue + 1 mason jar.  (Optional: a saw depending on if you want a vase shorter than 12″. We love our Ryobi miter, it’s a breeze to use and great for beginners.) Note: Go to Walmart first. Target was sold out and the dollar store only carries plastic so save yourself  a trip! Bonus: they were only $.25/each!
  • We cut our rulers to 5 1/2″ each and purposely cut from each end so our #’s were random (you’ll have 1 1/2″ of waste so you can get 2 pieces from 1 ruler).
  • Then hot glue a ruler piece directly to the mason jar and continue in a circle till it’s done.  

SO easy, right!?  The ruler vase is a GREAT teacher gift if filled with pencils, succulents, fresh flowers, candy or chocolate!

  1. Hi! I am making these for a math event on my school! I just tried making one, but couldn’t fit 10 ruler halves, I had extra space during on the jar and just goes a 12th piece over the empty space, but it wasn’t fish with the other rulers. Any tips? I used a half pint 8oz Mason jar.

  2. Hi. This is a great gift idea. I liked it very much. You make so beautiful things with such an ease. Thanks for sharing.
