Step 1: Gather Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This idea came to me as I was cleaning out this vintage hand me down dresser for my nursery project<\/a><\/em>, and found this old wooden ruler. I decided it would make the perfect handle for a fun DIY flag or pennant, which then snowballed into a first day of infant daycare sign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the ruler, I gathered the other supplies listed above. <\/p>\n\n\n

You can choose to make this sign one of two ways. First, you can freehand your design. If you don\u2019t trust your freehand ability, you can use Canva.com to electronically create your design to print + paired with patterned scrapbook paper. Or even a combination of both!<\/p>\n\n\n
