Portable Growth Chart

I found this amazing tutorial on portable growth charts for children. We didn't keep track of our height at my house growing up, it was done at my grandma's house. She is selling her house this spring, and the growth chart that has been created over the years will be gone forever. These growth charts make a fantastic gift for babies. For Christmas I made my nephew Jared, and my God daughter Lily each one.

The tutorial said she picked up Jute Webbing at Walmart. I did not have any luck finding it at Walmart or at my local JoAnn's store. I had to google it and order it online. I paid about $15 for 10 yards (I have a few friends that are expecting). I used Sharpies like she indicated which was fine for the ticks, but on the one for Lily I wanted to add some flowers to play it up a bit, but the sharpie bled beyond the stencil lines. I had to make a second one for her, and learned to fill in the numbers and letters lightly so it did not bleed.
