With the birth of my brother’s children, I had a memory lapse of my own children’s statistics when they were born. That was a sad reality as those precious little beings my husband and I created are probably the most important things in our lives.
I got the idea from Pinterest. The original blog post for this idea is here: Baby Stats Subway Art.
This is one of those projects that I REALLY wanted to do, and even had it on my own priority list of projects. When a particular challenge came up, I knew it was time to get these baby stats wall art projects done for my kids.
The toughest part of this project was getting the power-point print to fit on the piece of wood I purchased. Fortunately for you I have attached the power point file, links to the types of font I used, and some tips throughout the step-by-step process I took to create these cool stats-art for your own children.
If you’ve got a handle on power point, and your computer savy enough to download new fonts, hopefully this piece of art work will be a cake-walk for you and all you have to do is type in your child’s birth stats and enter the info.
If you don’t know power point well, I’ve tried to make the instructable as clear and simple as possible, BUT, you may run into a snag or two where I assumed that the person reading this knows how to use power point, “enough to get by.”
Either way, I hope you can use this instructable to get your own baby’s birth statistics done.

This would also look VERY cool as a laser-cut acrylic edge lit sign :)
