‘Story sticks’ were used by woodworkers, metalsmiths and other craftspeople for recurring measurements at least that long, particularly since these folks were usually both illiterate and innumerate. Story sticks have been found at worksites all over the world, described in craft history accounts and in use in living history blacksmith shops.

They’re still simple, fast and effective today, great idea!

Popsicle sticks also make quick, easily to modify tools for polishing crevices, wax carving/modelling and other light work as well as good holding devices with a bit of hot glue.

Not only for jewelry making but for sewing as well. I have such small working space so when I am only doing hems this will help a lot =) I will be using those wooden stirrer so that I can just get it for free from Mc Donalds. Thanks so much.

In fact, I use rulers all the time and panic can’t find one.
This is good because then I don’t have to remember the specific numbers like when I measure with a ruler. Thanks for the advice.
