 How
to read a ruler in inches:
When you are trying to calculate your harlequin diamond pattern,
you will probably run into ceiling heights and wall lengths
that are not coming out in even numbers. If only this were
a perfect world, Right? Knowing how to read your ruler, yardstick
or measuring tape is critical in this process.
If you feel a bit rusty on how to measure your walls properly,
don't feel too badly. This might be the first time you have
dragged out a ruler since your teacher hit you with one, or
was that just me? To the right is a photo of an english standard
ruler. This is broken down into 1/16th measurements. You may
find that measuring tapes will break down even further into
1/32nds for very precise measurements. For the purposes of
creating your harlequin diamond pattern 1/16th measurements
will work fine. 2/32nds equals 1/16th. You will notice that
16/16ths is equal to one inch. Count the lines above if you
don't believe me!
Our Harlequin Diamond Calculator will tell you what the height
and width of each diamond should be based on your wall measurements,
and depending on how many rows of diamonds you would like
on your wall. The more rows you want, the more work ahead
of you! Make sure you go back to our instructions to learn
how to tape and paint your diamonds, the link is at the bottom
of the page.
Figuring out the height and width of your diamonds is half
the battle. Our calculator will help you in your process to
easily figure out where to start. You can enter any whole
number with a fraction or as a decial and you will get a correct
result. For example, let's say your wall height is 7' 5"
1/2 inches high. Our calculator accepts inches, not feet,
so convert your feet to inches. 7 x 12 = 84 + 5 1/2= 89 1/2
inches or 89.5 inches. You can enter fractions or decimals
when you enter your numbers in the wall height and length
boxes. Once you enter your wall height and length and number
of estimated rows you would like, it will tell you what width
and height diamond you need to fit into your wall space. Change
the number of rows to change your dimensions. Your diamond
width should be half the size of your diamond height and will
re-adjust according to your wall dimensions.
For the rest of the world our calculator will also work with
metric milimeters!
