If you want to play along...you will need a few rulers {depending on the size you want}.

Hooks. I decided I wanted three for mine. You can find these at your local hardware stores. I bought mine at The Royal Standard.

Wood glue.

One piece of wood. I am using a very old piece of cypress that I had on hand. The size of wood you choose will depend on how many rulers and hooks you will need.

Lay your rulers out on your wood and get an idea of the lengths you want.

I chose to make mine mix-matched for a more vintage look. You can even try some upside down. I even painted one piece yellow for an even more vintage appearance.

After you have cut your rulers to size and laid them out you will then glue them down . You may need to apply some pressure to help with drying. I used some old books.

Then add your hooks!

This has been such a fun project to make!

You cant mess it up a bit..vintage..remember!

It's ok if you have some gaps too..vintage!

I can think of so many projects to do with these sweet rulers.

You can make your board as big or as small as you like. I think it would even be cute to make a small one with only one hook.

I will be selling this one you see in my Etsy!

Now this picture shows what it can look like if you stain your rulers.

This was my first one that I made and after staining it became very dark.

Some of the rulers that I used were very old and dry. That meant it soaked the stain up like a sponge. Just test a small piece before spending hours on your project.

This one came out perfectly vintage! I didn't stain all of this one. I like the look of some aged and some new. Have fun!
Perfect...like all your projects. I knew this was what you were doing. Didn't want to ruin the surprise for others though!!! Love it ♥
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! looks so neat.

ReplyDeleteGreat! I would love to have one of these hanging in my classroom or anywhere for that matter. You come up with the best ideas...
ReplyDeleteI love this project. Were your rulers on the second one new? I would have a hard time finding so many old rulers, but I will definitely be keeping my eyes open. Jackie
ReplyDeletePerfect for a back hall or the laundry room in my house!!! love this idea, Susie. Your partially stained one is my fav.
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
Awesome project! I can see this in several places in my home.
ReplyDeleteI love this! You are so talented! I want one!!! I have missed talking to you, but will be driving this morning to meet my mom and will give you a call!

ReplyDeleteEgads - so cute. I'm still trying to know where I would put your last project. Now, I'm really behind.

ReplyDeleteAwesome project!! You have the best ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to find one ruler at the thrift store! *smiles* Because everybody has seen your project and went and got them all. That would look great in my laundry room...I gotta find me some of those old rulers.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteSusie, your little creative brain is really working overtime lately! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness...this is stunning. i love it. i have been eying rulers for some time now and trying to think what to do with them, but this is amazing. perfect project.
ReplyDeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite project you've done yet! I love it and will definitely be stealing your thunder by making one for my entryway! Sorry you missed the garage sale.... We did well and it helped fund our "girls" trip.
How adorable! That would be the perfect thing for my sister's classroom - I am going to have to tell her to check this project out
ReplyDeleteI went to Louisiana Tech and I use those Lagniappe books all the time to weight things down!
ReplyDeleteVery cute project. I'd love to do something similar but I have such a hard time finding old rulers like that. The antiquing in the Carolinas is not what I'm used to back home.
what a fabulous idea!!! you are brilliant :-)
ReplyDeleteCute & clever!!
ReplyDeleteAmy
Wow! I am definately going to have to try this! You have the BEST projects!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Hugs from Texas...
Ohmygosh! I might need to get on making one of these. I have some "bunny" hooks I have done nothing with at this point. I just have an old plate rack I was going to use to hang things in the mud room. Haven't done that yet either.
ReplyDeletethis is why we love you!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Now to find some of those fabulous old rulers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I always love seeing your projects.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Susie!! I love those!
ReplyDeleteYour projects always measure up to something eXtra special ~ thanX for the great inchspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'm responding to your comment on my blog just because I don't know how cross commenting across blogs works! lol
ReplyDeleteI graduated in 1999 and yes, I've had to go back and visit my brick. My mom ordered me a "rendering" of my brick to frame and my own MOTHER didn't spell my middle name right so I had to make sure the actual thing was spelled correctly.
Dear Susie, thanX so much for popping by. I'm back up and running and very thankful to be reconnected. What a nice surprise to see your comments. Now you've made MY day!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. Do you have creativity oozing out your ears or what lady? You have such a talent!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm off to scour the house for old rulers. I can think of at least 4 right off the top of my head. Whoo-hoo!
~Amanda
I lost track of how I wound up here, but Wow!...I am glad I did.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!
Love the round letter idea, and the yard stick idea, and I'm sure I love all of your ideas. Gotta run, so I can catch up all of them.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteRuth
How in the world do you come up with the ideas for these projects? That is the CUTEST idea! I love it! It makes me think of my grandparents' old yardsticks they got from hardware stores when I was little.
ReplyDeleteOMG how darn cute is that...you are so crafty...
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!! So vintage!
ReplyDeletesusie, thank you so much...i love love love it...sadly the postal service broke one of the hooks. the box was a little smushed when it got here. but my husband is very handy and says that he has glue just for metal that will fix it.
ReplyDeleteI love this!! You did a wonderful job..as usual :o)

First and foremost, let’s get one thing straight: Herve Leger Dresses“There’s an incorrect assumption about Herve that it’s only for evening,”Herve Leger sale Lubov told me up on the 18th floor of her Oktoberfest Costumes Times Square showroom and headquarters. “It can be worn anytime! People also assume that it should fit really tight, but personally I wear it one size bigger because I like the comfort of it while still getting the silhouette.”Herve Leger Replica These are the dresses that are coming into our stores and online now, and these are the dresses that are going to show up come Saturday, because as we pointed out in our runway report last season, an Herve Leger show is full of Herve Leger dresses.
