A DIY Drill Measurer

If you’ve ever felt stumped with how to make different-sized holes in your wall, then we’re here to help. All you need to do is grab two lids off the top of the jars of your favorite jam or peanut butter. One lid will have one small hole in the middle and one larger hole on the outside. The other lid will have six different-sized screw holes. Using tape and one screw, place them together with the screw binding them together in the middle. You can use this as a measuring tool to drill different-sized holes into your wall, without having to worry about drilling too much or too little (Facebook).

Then, once you’re in a safe place, smash the glass to break off the unneeded pieces and create a piece of glass in the shape you want. If you want a piece of glass with a square shape in the middle, then use a glass cutter to make that smaller square shape and smash out the glass around it (Facebook).
