Personalized growth chart

The other day, I finished my ruler growth chart, and decided to personalize it today.  I went into Microsoft word, found a font that I liked (chunky fonts tend to work better), and put it together to make my stencil. 

 Now there are two ways to do this.

Option 1:

Take your stencil, and tape it onto the board.  If you have a ball tool, you can trace the letters, and it will make a mark on the wood, to be traced when you remove the paper.

Option 2:

This is the option that I chose.  Take an exacto knife, and cut out the letters.  Your stencil can then go directly onto the board.

 I chose to "color" my letters with a sharpie, but any type of paint would do the trick.

Here is the final product....

I love how it turned out!
