I love the tradition of being meausured each year on your birthday (or other days really) and marking it down on the side of a wall/door/whatever! So, I wanted to make a measuring device for our newest member arriving in March to start off right! I, also, made one for my brother's family {Christmas Gift} which looks very similar :)
I wanted to originally make a floor mat where we'd put all of our children's footprints, but that plan was foiled. So, I decided to combine the height chart with footprints!
DETAILS:
I marked evey 1/2 in, 1 in, and feet.
I stained it with a wash (paint and water) I did a lighter color, let it dry and then a darker color.
I used a black sharpie for the markings and black paint and stencils for the #s
Ask me if you want details on how I did the quote :)
We plan on printing each childs footprint up the side as they arive home (we'll see how many we have...ha!) |
-note to my bro- if you'd like a quote added to yours...let me know
