Growth Chart

I have been wanting to make one of these for a while now. 

We are a military family and we will be moving around for the rest of our lives. 

I really wanted to have a door or something to mark the growth of my kids but I know that we wont have a home like that so this was my solution. I can track my kids growth in every place we live. 

This is what I used:

Wood: I used a 1x6 that is 6ft tall. I got mine from Home Depot it was already finished. 

Numbers cut on Cricut.

Square

Tape measure

Sharpie

Hammer and something to hang it on the wall.

First I used my tape measure to make marks ever inch all the way up my board.

Once I have marks ever inch then I used my square and sharpie to make marks like this.

My mark lengths were in this order.

1 inch

1 inch

1 1/4 inch

1 inch

1 inch

1 1/2 inch

1 inch 

1 inch 

1 1/4 inch 

1 inch

1 inch

2 inches

I hope the make sense so at the half foot mark my line was an inch and a half long and at the foot line my mark was 2 inches long. 

Then I put my Cricut number next to the 2 inch lines.

With my numbers I did not start at 0 I started at 6 inches. So number 1 is only 6 inches from the bottom. When I hang it on the wall I want the bottom to be six inches from the floor.

I measured six inches from the floor and made a mark on my wall with a pencil. 

Then I put my metal piece to hang it up on the back and used the tooth paste technique to know where to put the nail in the wall to hang my board. 

Toothpaste Technique

Once it is hanging you can measure your kiddos!

Cool right! I think so :)
