A holster facilitating the carrying of a housing enclosed tape measure; a blank for forming the holster; and a method of forming the holster are disclosed. The holster is formed from a blank of relatively resilient sheet material such as sheet steel or the like dimensioned to provide a planar rear wall of a width slightly larger than that of the rear wall of the housing of the tape measure to be supported. Side walls of a thickness of the tape measure housing are formed extending from the edges of the rear wall, and front flaps are formed on the edges of each side wall with the front flaps dimensioned to permit the passage of a finger therebetween. A spring joint is formed between at least the rear wall and the side walls so as to permit the side walls to flex but biasing the side walls towards each other to frictionally retain a tape measure housing there between. A bottom wall is formed extending from the rear wall and provided with a cut-out of at least finger width. The blank is provided with areas corresponding to the above described holster wall components; and a method is disclosed for bending the blank components into the desired holster configuration.
