I added a simple hanging bracket to the top and just used a nail in the wall. However, once Cooper was mobile I added some command strips to the bottom so that it stayed put. :)

I LOVE this! My little guy just turned one and I can't wait to copy your chart this week. We also have a calm mostly white nursery so I'm looking forward to the contrast. Thanks for sharing the instructions.

Yes, each chunk is 6 inches. The white painted stripes are 6 inches and the plain wood sections are 6 inches as well.

Did you just measure 6 inch chunks for the tape? I'm math challenged. :) And in the process of making this right now!

Ack! I must've forgotten to respond to this question. Sorry about that!

The finished board is 5 1/2 feet tall and is mounted a foot off of the ground.

Wow! Stumbled across your blog and love it, especially love how your DIY growth chart turned out! Beautiful technique and lovely addition to a baby nursery!
A few months back I asked my husband to help me make one for our boys and we had fun preparing the board, but got stuck on creating a neat, professional way to put on numbers and tick marks. We tried numerous methods, and weren't happy with any of them, so decided to design a DIY vinyl decal that you can just transfer onto the board and were finally happy with it!
Since then, knowing how popular this project is, we actually opened a shop on Etsy to sell the decals for other DIY-ers who wanted to make a board but didn't have the creativity or time to hand draw out or stencil numbers and tick marks. If you'd like to take a look, or recommend the shop to others in your post as an option who might be frustrated by the same step, it's: www.etsy.com/shop/LittleAcornsByRo
Maybe it will be a help to others out there!
Thanks and best wishes!

2012-05-21T10:16:35.943-04:00

I made sure to hang it so that the one foot line/stripe (near the bottom) was exactly one foot off of the ground. That way the #2 is exactly two feet off of the ground, etc.

Does that make sense? Hope so!

How hight off the ground did you hang yours?

I am super psyched that I found your blog. Not only do I love the look, but your latest project is a must do for me. I just transferred my daughter's growth chart marks from the fridge (which we sold) to a scrap piece of wood from the redwood fence. The wood is weathered and I just couldn't figure out what to do with it...you have inspired me. Thanks so much...I'm a new follower. Stop by anytime, Lori
