DIY Growth Chart

By far, my favorite part of the kids bathroom is the growth chart that I made from a scrap piece of wood I found above our garage.  It was already painted white, so I simply used a sample container of Dolphin’s fin by Behr (get yours online today, on sale, for $1.94 and it ships free from Home Depot – can’t get any better than that!) some painters tape, and a tape measurer to tape off lines every 6 inches, measuring up to 6 feet.  The first line was at 6 inches (taking into account the 6 inches I’d planned to hang it above the floor onto the wall).  Once the paint was dry, I printed out numbers (get yours here free from www.jonesdesigncompany.com). Then I cut out the inside of the numbers and used the outline as a stencil.  I lined the numbers up, grabbed my stencil brush and some black craft paint and briskly painted in the numbers. It’s important to take off the paper immediately after painting for a crisp edge on the numbers.  And that, my friends, is all there is to it.  Easy right?

    1. Thank you Kimberley! My favorite brush is an ES600 Stencil-Ease (made in Germany). I’m sure you can find one at your local craft supply store ;-).
