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!

Have a question about this project?
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.
