I was inspired to make a growth chart as a baby gift, because I never started one for my son, until very recently. I made the base using
PTI's kraft cardstock. I scored several pieces and glued them together. The added benefit to this, is that the growth chart can be folded up and stored easily.
Each panel was decorated with the Bitty Baby Blessings
patterned paper-in the 6x6 size.
I thought the circles would be cute with
animals or as a place for photos as the child grows. I just wanted to show both options. (DH took this photo of DS when he was about 1 hour old-isn't it amazing?!)
To mark the height, I made markers and adhered them to mini clothes pins. You could make several and even leave them blank. You can also see that I drew in ruler lines. I started at 15 inches.
