DIY Knock-Off Pottery Barn Kids Growth Chart

Rather than spending $99 put your DIY skillets the test and create your very own growth chart for under $20!
I've been in love with Pottery Barn Kids Growth Charts since they first came out! But lets be honest, $99 for a ruler doesn't fit into my budget! So I got busy creating my own for under $20!


It was so easy to make! You should definitely give one a try for yourself!


SUPPLIES NEEDED:


-vinyl decals or stencil (see where to purchase them here: http://gatheredinthekitchen.com/diy-knock-off-pottery-barn-kids-growth-chart/ )


-1 6x4x1 piece of pine wood which you can buy at your local hardware store


-ruler


-pencil


-paint


-sand paper


STEPS:


1. Paint your board - I chose to paint a darker color underneath a lighter color and then sanded the edges to give it some dimension and a distressed look.
2. Sand your edges to the amount of distress that you prefer.
3. Starting at the 6 foot marker (or above, I chose to only go to 6 feet high) - start adhering your numbers. It's important to start at the top number rather than 1, the bottom because depending on where you hang the board because you'll have to account for the distance from the floor up. I had to cut off part of the board on my bottom because I didn't go past 6 feet.
4. Using a power drill and a key hole router bit make a hanging hole in the back so you can hang it on the wall
TA DA!! That's it! So simple, huh?
