Yep a lot of these links are the same as the ones above them.. I lookedat the flex frames and the straight ones that looks just like measuring tape but it is a lot stronger. I bought a regular measuring tape and one at the $1 strore and the $1 store one was very flimsy but it would still work but not as strong. These are easy little bags to make but I bought a kit with the pattern in it and 2 fq and the 4 pieces of tape already with masking tape on the ends.
