Use a dollar bill if you don't have a tape measure on hand.
Easy Measure

Interior designer Joanne North of Indianapolis shares this secret that designers use for measuring when you don't have a ruler: Use a dollar bill--it's 6 inches long and 2-1/2 inches wide. You can also measure various parts of your body and use those as estimates: hand finger span, arm length, etc.
