DIY Growth Chart- no tools

This summer I had to clean out my grandparents house. It was fun finding all these forgotten treasures. In their garage there are these rafters that they never let me explore and I've always wanted to see what was up there.

I found my dad's first set of ski's and they were wooden (sorry to date you dad)! They are crafted so well and have all these amazing handwritten labels on them (including a hand painted part that states they were made in West Germany). I didn't want to ruin the integrity of the ski but I wanted to put it on display somewhere.

**Lightbulb**- a growth chart for Monroe. I used a really simple method as to not have to nail or cut any of the ski. To make this all you need is the following:

• A ski (or any other long piece of wood)
• Jute
• Carpenter's ruler (the folding kind)
• Liquid Nails (I like this adhesive because it's clear but holds super well)
• metallic pen, for marking height

The ski is obviously worn but I like that about it. I love knowing that my dad really used them.

I glued the ruler to the ski with the Liquid Nails. Then I wrapped the jute around the two until the glue dried. When it was done drying I secured it to the wall with a screw, and it's done. Perfect growth chart without ruining the ski. Now all I need to do is keep Monroe still long enough to measure his height!
