[That Village House] DiY Growth Chart

[Tiffany]

I'm so excited about my new (Pottery Barn look-alike) ruler growth chart!!

I stained a 1x8x6 piece of wood and then used my silhouette machine to make number 1-6 stencils.

With a permanent marker, I marked out my inches and drew in the numbers. 

(Not a difficult process, but a little tedious.)

I wanted to hang my ruler (as opposed to leaning it), and since I have tall baseboards, I started my marks at 6 inches. So my ruler actually measures up to 6 1/2 feet tall.

My kids were confused/excited/proud of their new ruler the minute I hung it up. If Davis could talk he would say (like my husband did), "Why is there are ruler hanging on the wall?)

Sweet Sydney gets excited over just about anything. 

And Addi can now prove that she's the big sister.

Man I love these kids!!

When I have a chance, I plan to look back in their charts to mark down their heights up until now. 

And the best part about the ruler is that it's portable..from this wall to another wall or from this house to another house. Perfect! Thanks to 517 Creations for sharing your idea!
