Vintage Airplane Wooden Growth Chart

Saturday, November 2, 2013

Swooping and swirling up the chart, the vintage airplanes are a fun addition for your son's bedroom.

 

The wooden growth chart begins as unfinished pieces, each laser cut here in Missouri. The background of the chart is then painted a medium slate gray and given navy blue hash marks for every half an inch.

Next, the airplanes themselves are given their overall colors of navy, tomato red, and light blue. I then add in their wing colors and accents in white, light blue, dark gray, and dark yellow.



The puffy clouds are a white and pale gray gingham, outlined in dark gray, and then the edges stitched with navy blue.

Lastly, I paint the stitched flight paths for each airplane in white.

Personalization is free. Chart markings can be done in centimeters for a small additional fee.


My vintage airplane growth chart has flown across the United States and even into Canada and overseas to the United Kingdom.

To order your own custom handpainted growth chart, see the vintage airplane style in my Etsy shop or contact me for a new style to coordinate with your child's bedroom decor.

Other growth chart designs are on my website and in my Etsy shop.

*Note that the airplanes are also available as quilt clips, wooden wall letters, name signs, curtain holdbacks, wall plaques, peg racks, and more.

NEW!!! Handpainted wooden growth charts with personalization

Friday, October 1, 2010

My newest addition to the Little Elephant Company line of room decor! I have upgraded the growth charts to a gorgeous handpainted solid wood style.

Each growth chart is 42" x 5.75" without the ribbon, and measurements top at 6 feet for your child. The wood is 1/8" thick and is in 3 sections for easy folding and storage.

Of course, I can customize to your theme and add personalization for FREE! And, my new nail cover is also included for FREE with each growth chart!

For the growth chart pictured in this post, I started with a light pink background and painted white hash marks every 1/2 inch. Then I meticulously added twisting iron oxide branches and tiny leaves for the birds to rest on.

The birds are in my PBK Brooke design with a light colored body outlined in a darker tone, then the wings in meadow green white stitches and tiny dots.

Lastly, I hung the growth chart by dark brown ribbon. For the picture, the nail cover is orange to match the beaks on the birds, but you can choose any color you wish!

The new growth charts arenow on my website, and a few are in my Etsy shop. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a custom one for your child today!
