Designing a child's yardstick with branding

Instructions No. 2007
Instructions No. 2007     Difficulty: Beginner  Working time: 8 Hours

Mom, have I grown again? Your child can measure itself against this yardstick again and again if it wants to. In addition, we provide you with cute graphics as a template in which you can record when your child took its first steps, got its first tooth or what the first word of your treasure was. In the Polaroid-like picture frame you can always stick on the appropriate picture of your child

Not only your child grows, but the bar always grows through further your entries, memories and photos. A great souvenir when your child grows up and a great gift idea for soon-to-be mom and dad.

The yardstick in the raw version:

messlatte

Ready designed it is an eye-catcher:

messlatte

This is how the bar is set:

First draw the scale on the wood with a tape measure or folding rule and a pencil

Print out the templates and transfer them onto the wood with graphite paper. Connect the Brandmal-Pen to the power supply and wait about 5 minutes until it has heated up. Now you can slowly draw the lines on the wood with the Brandmalpen

You can paint the frames with Chalky Color antique white or your desired colour. The clothespin can be marked with an arrow and after measuring it can be clamped to the scale. Drill holes in the top of the wooden plate with a hand drill and provide it with a Jute ribbon to hang up.

Some detail pictures from the bar:

The hand drills are also very suitable for children's handicrafts, e.g. for making chestnut animals. The set contains nail drills with drill diameters of 2, 3 and 4 mm.
