Little AcornsADD ON - DIY Vinyl Growth Chart Ruler - Height Marker Arrows ONLY

Very nice product and it ended up working, however, the vinyl stuck really bad to the backing paper and it was a very long process to peel each and every tick mark off.

Very easy to install. Makes it look very good!

This product made creating a DIY growth chart a dream! It was SO easy!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my grandson. The set is exactly as described online. We went to Lowes and got the size board they recommend in the directions. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The nice thing about getting it from Lowes is that if they don't have the boards you want in the right size they will cut it for you for free. We found a nice light grey board that was already finished (but not sealed). This looked perfect in his room. While we were there we picked up a sanding block and the polyurethane as well. One stop shopping. The directions on finishing the board are very easy. We lightly sanded the board all over. If we hadn't already gotten a finished board you would just pick out a stain you like as well and rub it on the board, letting it sit for a few minutes and rubbing it off. Even if you haven't done staining before, it is super easy with directions on the can. Make sure you wear rubber gloves when staining because the stain is hard to get off your hands. Let the board dry overnight before putting the decals on. They are very easy to apply. Just make sure you press them down all over when applying. After that we just used the polyurethane we bought at Lowes. It comes in a can or you can get the spray can version which is a little more expensive but I like how easy it is to get a nice even coat. You won't have to worry about the brush strokes you get if you use the canned polyurethane. Make sure you let it dry well before hanging. I added screw in eye hooks on either side of the top of the board and used a piece of rope to hang it. It was very cute. I'd recommend this project even beginners. It is easy and comes out fantastic looking.

The measurement accuracy is spot on. The directions are straight forward and easy to use/apply. I have created 2 with these kits so far. Highly recommend!

I got my board from Home Depot. It is a 6’ tall, 12” wide board (they have them already cut in that size for $15) I painted a board for my daughters first birthday. I wanted mine to measure from the floor up, so I don’t have to always hang it, when we move, etc. So I measured from the bottom of the board, up. I didn’t put the numbers on it, because I like the look without them. You can tell where the foot markers are, because they’re longer tick marks. I didn’t technically make a “ruler”, so didn’t need the numbers, just the tick marks. The instructions are super clear, and easy to follow. Just peel the clear part away from the white paper and place the clear paper, sticky side down, on the board. Then, use something to rub against the tick marks to make them stick to the board. peel the clear paper away, and the tick marks will be stuck to your board. Easy peasy! I plan on sealing the board and using a paint pen to mark height over the years! Thanks so much!

Now this is a quick and easy craft that makes a great gift. Just get a 1x8 board (Select Grade Pine with little or no knots is about $24 at Lowes and better than what I find at Home Depot). Cut to 6 feet if you had to get an 8ft board (Lowes will make this cut if you need it.) Sand the edges a little to reduce the sharpness a bit and lightly sand with steel wool. Wipe off real good and you are ready to apply this decal using great instructions provided. We have done this 3 times and still impressed by how awesome they turn out. We put on a coat of varnish, lightly sand with steel wool, and add a final coat. Looks great. Don't forget to mark the birth height and include parents height too!

This is exactly what we were looking for and so easy! I've gotten some great complements and on top of that it has been a fun DIY project my four-year-old could "help" with. I like that it goes up to 6'8", is very durable, and can change houses with us when we move. The directions that came with the decals were pretty good and easy-to-follow. If you check out their website you can find faq's and even more comprehensive instructions plus some great suggestions and ideas.Like most good things, though, you need to make sure you take the time to do it right. You have to allow several days for the stain or paint to dry and the clear-coat if you choose to use one. It is all explained in the directions and it warns you multiple times not to take short cuts. If you are pressed for time and choose order one it might be good idea to check out the directions and suggestions on their website while you wait for delivery. That way you can decide how you want to finish your chart and have everything purchased and ready to go when the decals arrive. You could even have the board already stained or painted if you're really on top of things. If you are looking for something "right now" you might want to look elsewhere. If you don't mind taking the time to get great results, I'd recommend this hands-down.
