Growth Chart Tutorial

Yesterday was Becky’s birthday and I knew I wanted to get her something handmade this year.

So…I went to her Pinterest boards (by the way here’s a TIP: going to somebody’s Pinterest boards is a great way to see exactly what they want), and knew I wanted to make her a growth chart.
DIY Ruler Growth Chart
SUPPLIES:

  • 6 1/2 Ft Tall Wooden Board
  • Stain or Paint
  • Vinyl

DIY Ruler Growth Chart
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Stain or paint your board. I stained Becky’s using Minwax Wood Finish in color Jacobean.
2. Let dry completely.

3. Grab your ruler to measure where you want the lines to go on your growth chart.

4. Add vinyl numbers and lines….and you have a great gift!

    Hi Kari! If I am wanting to get your vinyl kit for the growth chart do I get that from you or where can I get that from? It doesn’t seem to have the link for it anymore.

    Thanks
