DIY Growth Chart

I was intrigued by all the growth charts that were posted on Pinterest and thought why couldn't I make Jacob one. Keep in mind that I'm not very handy and I have barely stepped foot into a lumber store.

Off I went into Lowe's looking for a decently priced piece of wood, some stain and a permanent marker. After wondering for awhile, I found what I needed and I was ready to tackle the task at hand. I used instructions from this site.

Here's how my growth chart turned out. Not too shabby at all!

I plan on taking a picture and glueing it to the ruler with modge podge for each year of his birthday. If you simply want to buy a similiar growth chart. I found one on Amazon.
