Grandmas Gray Growth Ruler


My very good friend wanted a Grandma growth ruler for her home. To add a fun measuring stick for all her adorable grandkids, I created one in soft shades of grey.

I started with my usual 6 foot long by 8" wide spruce board. All sides are sanded smooth. 


I stained both sides of the board with my favorite Fusion stain finishing oil in driftwood - a lovely warn gray applied with a blue shop towel. Let the product sit for about 10 minutes and wipe excess off with a fresh blue shop towel.

This is my go to FAVORITE high traffic surface refinishing product. I have used it on so many projects.

Once dry it was ready to add the measurement details.


Using my favorite Muddaritaville Studio growth ruler stencil I stenciled the markings and numbers on using cast iron Fusion Mineral Paint using a 3/4" stencil brush. 


All was lightly sanded with a fine grit sanding pad when dry then sealed with a couple coats of tough coat watered down a bit for added sheen and ease of marking.


This Grandma measuring stick is now ready for the grandkids to mark their heights and see who is the tallest or at least as tall as grandma :)

Growth rulers are so customizable with colors, designs, personalization etc. See many more I have done HERE.
