I love this idea by Breanna over at our sister site Dollar Store Mom: a growth chart made from one of those standard full-length mirrors. She painted on the measurement lines and other decorative touches using the Martha Stewart decorative paint line by Plaid. You can always find these mirrors in your local big-box stores for around $5, but I have noticed that they have extra choices during back-to-school time for the college student product lines. To find out how to make the growth chart, go to Dollar Store Mom. [how to make a mirror growth chart]
