I like spread-sheets, and I cannot lie! - Scripture Case DIY (Use your own measurements)

I like spreadsheets, perhaps a little too much.  When I owned a craft and wedding supply store, we had an online spreadsheet that our customers could use to determine how much tulle they needed to make a no-sew tutu. All the user had to do was input the waist measurement and then length of the finished tutu and it would give you exactly what you needed.  Yep, they’re great.

I recently posted my pattern and instructions for making a scripture case for 7 3/8 x 5 3/8 x 2 3/8 set of scriptures. However, not everyone has scriptures that are that size.  So after trying to create a written tutorial with a lot of math and algebra and letters mixed with numbers, I decided to create a spreadsheet instead that would do all of the calculating. All the user has to do is input the height, width, and depth of their scriptures and a written list of pieces and their measurements is automatically output.  I even included sort of a drawing (see the picture to the left) with the measurements on the sides so that it would be easier for those who need to see it instead of just reading the measurements.

So CLICK HERE to be taken to the spreadsheet for IMPERIAL (which is inches) so you can get measurements to make your own scripture case. Be aware that the spreadsheet is public, so if someone else is also on the spreadsheet at the same time, they can change the measurements, too. CLICK HERE for the metric (centimeters) version.

Also, you’ll still need my original tutorial, which is located here. And you’ll need a zipper that is slightly longer than your measurement for the zipper enclosure. I needed a 20” zipper, but if your set is larger than mine, you’ll need a longer zipper.
