DIY Growth Chart Ruler

 
 I have seen this done over and over again and wanted to make my own. With the rate that my kids grow I needed and wanted to measure their growth rate. Thanks to my awesome Husband, for encouraging me to do these and cutting the boards for me.  
 
These were simple, and I wanted to use Vinyl for the number and thought about using Sharpies for the lines, but then realizing that I think it would be better if I just used Vinyl on all of it.
I used Deck Staining that I found at the ReSTORE Habitat for Humanity store for guess how much $6.00 for a whole Gallon.
                      Here are the directions:

 Step 1: Stain Wood with Stain
 Step 2: Mark off 1 foot (6 times)
 Step 3: Mark off Inches ( by the way I marked off with Pencil
 Step 4:  Cut out Numbers on Die Cutting Machine, I used my Silhouette
                  *Otherwise you can buy vinyl numbers from your Craft Store or Hardward Store.
Step 5:  Cut the inch marks with cutter and scissors.

I'm super excited for the kids to see this and to start measuring them on the Growth Chart Ruler!
                                                        Happy Crafting!
