I have seen this project all over Pinterest and Pottery Barn which means that I automatically went "of course I can do it cheaper and of course I can do it myself." And I did. All you need is:
The greatest thing about this is that if we move, we can take it with us as opposed to all of those marked up doorways that get painted over when families move.
1 1" x 6" x 6' piece of lumber
1 can of polyurethane
1 roll of vinyl numbers from Etsy or DIY'd from your own Silhouette Cameo
2 eye hooks
2 hooks
1 tape measure
It took an afternoon to do this. I simply sanded the edges of the lumber, applied one coat of polyurethane, stuck down the ruler numbers I bought from Etsy, applied one more coat of poly, attached 2 hooks to the top and then two eye hooks to our beam. Then we measured 1 foot from the floor and hung it appropriately.

What I quickly learned is that you have to designate 2 sides (left and right) to a board, one for each kid, because kid #2 obviously starts growing over the same heights child #1 did. :)
