Make your own rustic wall ruler
Need to add a little rustic to your home full of crayons and stuffed animals? Throw away those paper wall rulers and make your own! I found this great old barn door at the landfill and screamed with delight when I laid eyes on it. I took just one of the pieces of wood, sanded it down, used permanent marker to make all the lines and numbers, sealed it with a wax, and hung that bad boy on the wall. We mark the kid's height right on it. I love functional and beautiful decor. :)
LOVE my landfill find!
Double thumbs up from Jack!

What's the height of the numbers
How do you put numbers and lines on the stick
Hi Scott, just follow the markings on a regular ruler and I use a square to draw the line with a permanent marker.
