So a while ago I saw this really cute image of Olaf from Frozen on the front of a kids magazine. He was holding his head way above his body and I thought that's how most kids feel, they just want to be taller! So I thought the image would be great on a Growth Chart.
This is what I came up with!
Materials:
Felt: Turquoise; brown; black, white sparkle and orange
A Tape measure
Some snowflake ribbon to hang it up with.
I used felt for all of it.
Cut all the pieces out.
So you get a nice little pile of felt goodies.
Position them and pin them in place.
Attach your tape measure, I cut mine so it started at 40cm I think and finished at 150cm. I pegged this in place with the side facing up that has both inches and cm on it as there was a nice black line running down the centre that I could stitch on. Plus a lot of people in the UK still work in imperial method of measurement.
Now stitch all your pieces in place! I found that working with larger pieces of felt was tricky and sometimes it puckered.
I then sewed another piece of turquoise felt to the back to cover the stitching and secured the ribbon in place in between. Then I used some scalloped pinking shears to trim the edges.
I was really happy with the end result. I made two little pegs with snowflakes and initials on so my niece and nephew can plot their heights! Hope they like it.
Thanks for stopping by.
